Bielefeld Anthropological Papers on Issues of the Global World (BAPGW) features innovative analyses by scholars working on socio-cultural, economic and political issues of global implications in diverse regional contexts whose works are anthropologically and ethnographically oriented. The series provides a platform for staff members, guest speakers and visiting scholars of the Faculty of Sociology to disseminate their findings, gather feedback and initiate discussion on their ongoing work. The series is edited and sponsored by the Faculty for Sociology’s Department for Sociology of Transnationalisation and Social Anthropology.
