(mobility, legislation, illegal immigrants, transmigration, transnationalism and
migrant communities).
Trade (exchanges and
transfers of money and of know-how, relocation of industries, informal economies,
criminal economy and criminal organisations)
Cultural exchanges
(cultural cross-overs, cultural mixes and creolization)
Borders
Cultural heritage
Religious traditions
Collective
imaginations, representations and stories
Women
Political systems and
institutions
Civil society, human
rights
