The Fall 2003 issue of the International Migration Review is dedicated to the topic of transnational activities among contemporary immigrants.  It is based on papers presented at the conference on the same topic held at Princeton University in June 2001 and co-sponsored by the CMD with the International Migration Program of the Social Science Research Council and the Transnational Communities Programme at the University of Oxford, United Kingdom.

Co-edited by Josh DeWind of SSRC, Steven Vertovec of Oxford, and Peggy Levitt of Wellesley College, the issue presents a series of theoretical and empirical analyses on the origins, significance, and scope of immigrant transnational activities both in the United States and Western Europe.  CMD Director, Alejandro Portes, is the author of the concluding essay to the issue.

Papers can be found in IMR Volume 37 Number 3 (Fall 2003).
