Research shows that caregiving obligations between adult children and their parents can induce care burden and negatively impact well-being, particularly when children are unable to adequately care for parents abroad. Guilt is the most common of personal feelings involved in care burden and yet often neglected in research. Research also highlights gender differences in care burden shaped by social norms, with women typically reporting more guilt than men. However, we still have a poor understanding of the factors leading to difference in feelings of guilt between men and women in transnational families. This article focuses on male and female residents in Germany who provide care to parents living abroad, comparing them with individuals whose parents also reside in Germany. Through this comparison, we aim to deepen the understanding of the specific challenges and well-being outcomes related to caregiving in transnational families. Our findings show that transnational family ties do not inherently increase feelings of care-related guilt. Rather, guilt is higher when parents live in countries with family-oriented institutional care systems and stronger norms of caregiving. Contrary to expectations, these effects are not stronger for women. Still, across all contexts, women report higher levels of guilt than men—regardless of whether care takes place within national borders or across them, and regardless of care institutions and norms.</p>","PeriodicalId":47882,"journal":{"name":"Global Networks-A Journal of Transnational Affairs","volume":"25 4","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2025-08-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/glob.70027","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144891663","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}

Already facing transnational forms of ‘cumulative precarity’, the prolonged nature of these events prompted them to develop translocal responses and strategies to the globally unfolding polycrisis. The emergence of a food delivery platform in Runolahti presented an opportunity for some, whereas others relied on the university's infrastructure or their personal resources to cope with the polycrisis.

Drawing on ethnographic fieldwork, it examines how everyday transnationalism is continually negotiated in the transnational social fields developed through long-term friendships, emotional bonds and intercultural negotiations. Everyday transnationalism in these marriages is characterized by religious adaptation, fluid translingual communication, hybrid domestic routines and expanded transnational identities. Unlike economically driven migration marriages, these unions are voluntary, emotionally grounded, educationally embedded, culturally conscious and gender-intersected. By highlighting love, adaptability and mutual respect as defining features, this study challenges dominant narratives that frame transnational marriages as strategic or transactional. Theoretically, this study contributes to transnationalism and cultural hybridity debates by foregrounding education-based mobility and marriage.

This dataset includes 1354 unique companies and 1575 ownership relations spanning 58 countries. We provide network characteristics, metrics and statistical insights, along with three detailed analytical applications. First, betweenness centrality identifies key influential companies, highlighting the role of financial institutions in industry resilience. Second, community detection reveals strategic positioning by EV manufacturers within global markets. Third, we find a nonlinear inverse U-shaped relationship between Global Network Connectivity (GNC) and Gross Competitive Intensity (GCI) at the country level.

The research illustrates how memories of parcels are evoked through the senses, opening up migration stories beyond parcels’ immediate content and meanings, highlighting evolving children's experiences of their parents’ emigration on the one side, and revealing the hardship of migration journeys on the other.

However, the effectiveness of global civil society in this role and the consequences of power dynamics between donors and funded organizations for corporate accountability (CA) strategies are still disputed. This article uses original data on 290 civil society actors to examine the role of funding sources for the organizations’ repertoires and aims. The main findings reveal that receiving funding from state or government authorities reduces the probability of using contentious strategies, whereas funding from charities has no such effect. Funding from state or government authorities also diminishes the likelihood of organizations to pursue more radical claims such as economic reforms. Such funding, then, becomes an impediment to seeking structural change and to employing more radical repertoires. The article concludes that CA initiatives, while using the tools and resources that the current legal, economic and political system provides, can, at least potentially, fail to have the intended effect. Rather than challenging power and provoking structural change, they can contribute to cementing existing power structures and legitimizing dominant discourses.</p>","PeriodicalId":47882,"journal":{"name":"Global Networks-A Journal of Transnational Affairs","volume":"25 3","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.5,"publicationDate":"2025-07-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/glob.70024","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144681015","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}
