The theories
about transnationalism are since twenty years a new attempt to approach
migration and diasporic phenomena. The intention to explore different kind of
transnational relationships, contacts and ties, which cross the lines from the
nation-states and to focus on the transnational agents, networks and
organizations, are the primary research field of the transnational migration
studies. In continental Europe these field is developing in the last 10 years.
The conditions
of the Greek migration to Germany in the sixties allowed the establishment of a
transnational social space between the two nation states. This space nurtured
not only by the bidirectional mobility of the Greek migrants in this period,
but mainly through compatible and comparable sociopolitical developments between
the two countries. This allowed the emergence of social and political issues
and concerns in the transnational social space, which could be capitalized and were
transferable between the two countries.
