This year’s Summer School of the Graduate Centre, Leipzig concentrates on the role of transnational actors in global political, economic, social and cultural processes of spatialisation. Without losing sight of the state apparatus, which has an important function / role in and for transnational processes, attention will be given to various cross border agents such as migrants, tourists, companies, political parties, trade unions, associations of entrepreneurs, political, religious and cultural movements, NGOs, academics, journalists, athletes, service(wo-)men and also transnational criminal groups. It is obvious that such a variety of organisational forms of intervention and their self-perception or self-presentation respectively demand a systematising discussion.
