Although cosmopolitan migrants are often considered a privileged group within migrant populations, we argue that their cosmopolitan belonging can also result from being socially excluded—a dynamic we term reactive cosmopolitanism. Using unique probability-based panel data on Germans living abroad, we explore the extent to which their attachment to the European Union changes in response to growing perceptions of social exclusion and ethnic discrimination. We find original empirical evidence supporting the existence of reactive cosmopolitanism. The trend is moderate yet discernible across various subgroups, including migrants residing in non-EU countries and those considered more cosmopolitan by virtue of migration experience, higher education and occupational status and a more open personality. These results suggest that cosmopolitan belonging cannot simply be reduced to expressions of privilege, prosperity or openness but can also reflect a compensatory response to social rejection.</p>","PeriodicalId":47882,"journal":{"name":"Global Networks-A Journal of Transnational Affairs","volume":"26 4","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.5,"publicationDate":"2026-07-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/glob.70065","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148647808","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Addressing the persistent fragmentation in migration studies, it explores how territorial belonging is constructed through narrative, visual and material practices in different contexts of mobility. Using a qualitative, participatory and arts-based design, the study analyses two empirical contexts: processes of rural depopulation in Spain and international migration in situations of administrative irregularity. The findings introduce the concept of relational cartographies of mobility, understood as situated configurations through which experiences of movement, memory and belonging are co-produced. These cartographies show that mobility operates not only as a spatial process, but also as an affective and symbolic reconfiguration of the territory. Furthermore, the analysis highlights how belonging is configured unequally depending on differentiated regimes of mobility, recognition and access to rights. From a methodological perspective, the article demonstrates the value of participatory and visual methods for capturing the embodied and material dimensions of migration. In theoretical terms, it contributes to overcoming the analytical division between internal and international migration, proposing a relational and decolonial understanding of mobility as a situated and multi-scalar process.</p>","PeriodicalId":47882,"journal":{"name":"Global Networks-A Journal of Transnational Affairs","volume":"26 4","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.5,"publicationDate":"2026-07-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/glob.70071","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148647806","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Using World Bank Enterprise Survey data matched with country-year IFFRE data for 21 economies in Asia and Europe, the analysis focuses on cumulative IFFRE over the previous 3 years to reflect the multi-year implementation horizon of renewable-energy finance. The results show that cumulative IFFRE is positively and significantly associated with firm-level ECE, measured as revenue generated per unit of energy cost. Suggestive pathway-as-outcome evidence indicates that cumulative IFFRE is associated with higher firm R&D spending and greater bank financing of fixed assets. Contextual heterogeneity analysis further shows that the IFFRE–ECE association is stronger in countries with deeper financial market access, stronger regulatory quality, and higher climate change readiness.

Four themes emerge: the layered architecture of migration motivations, within which a structural hopelessness, the participants name ‘seeing no future’, extends beyond economic and security concerns; the route and its instalment-based economy with smugglers; Türkiye's hybrid role between transit hub and destination; and the search condition produced by plural belonging and suspended time.

Their trajectories show a shift from regular labour migration to irregular status, followed by a form of quasi-regularisation through entry into the protection process. Drawing on in-depth interviews with 31 protection claimants in Hong Kong who had previously worked as migrant domestic workers, we show that these transitions are shaped by a wider migration infrastructure. We highlight the interplay of migration regimes, including employment-tied visas and a short post-termination grace period, intermediaries that deepen indebtedness and constrain exit options, social networks that provide information and practical support and contingent events that often trigger shifts in migration trajectories. Pathways into and out of irregularity reflect migrants’ bounded agency as they navigate these structural and circumstantial constraints.</p>","PeriodicalId":47882,"journal":{"name":"Global Networks-A Journal of Transnational Affairs","volume":"26 3","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.5,"publicationDate":"2026-07-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/glob.70064","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148615514","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Using the embeddedness approach, our analysis shows that migrant entrepreneurs utilize different network types that are socially, spatially, institutionally and multi-contextually embedded. We also introduce the concept of the <i>liability of migrant identity</i>, which limits IE's access to host-country networks and, subsequently, affects their business performance. This review contributes to the literature at the intersection of migrant entrepreneurship and networks by unpacking the black box of network types and their roles, while also offering definitional clarity on the various network types.

It draws on a bilateral panel dataset with more than 2.2 million observations during the period from 1995 to 2020. We employ a Poisson pseudo-maximum likelihood (PPML) estimator with high-dimensional fixed effects (HDFE), suitable for examining GVC indicators, as it controls heteroskedasticity and zero observations. By distinguishing between supply-side (business) and demand-side (consumer) digitalisation effects with further division into domestic and foreign components, our study establishes dual and asymmetric impacts of digitalisation on GVCs. We find that consumer digitalisation invariably reduces both forward and backward linkages in GVCs and further generates localisation away from cross-border linkages. Conversely, business digitalisation is significantly associated with GVC integration at the sectoral level, particularly moderated through enhanced coordination and transaction efficiency. Sector-level analysis reveals pronounced heterogeneity. Manufacturing and services respond differently to domestic and foreign digital shocks, while construction and agriculture show muted or divergent responses. Our findings suggest that digitalisation is not a monolithic driver of globalisation or participation in global production but a dual-faced force requiring targeted vertical industrial strategies. To ensure inclusive GVC participation, policymakers in emerging economies may consider prioritising sectoral absorptive capacity and aligning domestic standards with emerging global trade governance frameworks, such as the WTO's Joint Statement Initiative on E-commerce, to mitigate digital fragmentation and foster cross-border linkages.</p>\u0000 </div>","PeriodicalId":47882,"journal":{"name":"Global Networks-A Journal of Transnational Affairs","volume":"26 3","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.5,"publicationDate":"2026-06-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148324177","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
