Globalization has become the buzzword of our time. But what does it mean? Rather than forcing a complicated social phenomenon into a single analytical framework, this series seeks to present globalization as a multidimensional process constituted by complex, often contradictory interactions of global, regional, and local aspects of social life. Since conventional disciplinary borders and lines of demarcation are losing their old rationales in a globalizing world, authors in this series apply an interdisciplinary framework to the study of globalization. In short, the main purpose and objective of this series is to support subject-specific inquiries into the dynamics and effects of contemporary globalization and its varying impacts across, between, and within societies.

Fr Barbara, meine geliebte Frau, die mit mir bis ans Ende der Welt gegangen ist und mich auf dem Camino des Lebens begleitet

Acknowledgments

I am greatly indebted to Dr. Wolfgang C. Mller, who so graciously extended an invitation to be a visiting scholar at the University of Viennas Institut fr Staatswissenschaft. His generous help in securing a research visa allowed me to spend a full year in the majestic capital of the Alpine Republic and to see firsthand the enormity of the ongoing refugee crisis in Europe.

Many thanks are due to my esteemed colleagues at Western Oregon University. Ed Dover, Mark Henkels, and Mary Pettenger supported my application for sabbatical leave and covered for me while I was gone. Mike McGlade, John Rector, Ram Sil, and Elizabeth Swedo read early drafts and excerpts of the manuscript and gave invaluable feedback. Comrade Dean Braa shared his considerable knowledge of world-systems theory and helped refine my conceptual approach to global migration. Ross Burkhart of Boise State University very kindly offered encouragement on both the manuscript and ideas presented at the annual conference of the Pacific Northwest Political Science Association. John W. Smith, who for years has been a trusted friend and mentor, made many insightful comments on the final draft.

Cheers to the entire Dickinson clan, especially my mother Marie, Neal, Paul, Mary, Lore, Chrissie, and Eryn. Heartfelt thanks also to Dieter and Christiana and our wonderful circle of friends in Vienna. My deepest gratitude ultimately goes to my wife Barbara, who has given me what I always wanted from this life, namely to call myself beloved, to feel myself beloved on this earth.
