If sociology is to make a pertinent contribution to the undersanding of the 'post-societal' era it must forget the social rigidities of the pre-global order and, instead, switch its focus to the study of physical, imaginative and virtual movements. In considering this 'sociology of mobilities', the book concerns itself with the travels of people, ideas, images, objects, messages, waste products and money across international borders, and the implications these mobilities have for the experiences of time, space, dwelling and citizenship.
