Werner Wintersteiner/Georg Gombos/Daniela Gronold (eds.): Border traffic; Border conflicts; Border solutions: Multilingualism, transculturality and education in the Alps-Adriatic region. Plurlinguismo, transculturalità e istruzione; Multilingualism, Transculturality and Education. Klagenfurt: Wieser 2010.
The book provides insight into current processes of globalization, in which real and mental borders are being dismantled while simultaneously establishing new ones. The transnational Alpine-Adriatic region forms the shared horizon of experience of the authors from science, education, literature, business, the health sector, and politics.
In a world of multilingualism and multiculturalism, questions arise such as: In which direction do we need to develop to become cosmopolitan and successful "global citizens of a particular region"? How can we remain true to ourselves without closing ourselves off to others, and how can we open ourselves up to others without losing ourselves?
