“…There are more social sources of transnational experiences as well, including one's own experiences of migration, holidays, travel and longer and shorter stays abroad (Andreotti et al, 2013;Díez Medrano, 2010;Mau, 2010: Mau andMewes, 2012;Ley, 2004: 159).…”

“…Still, though popular, travelling is more common among males, those with high incomes, university graduates, urbanites and among those who live in modernized and globalized countries (Andreotti et al, 2013;Mau and Mewes, 2012;Fligstein, 2008;Gustafson, 2009;Díez Medrano, 2010). Based on the same theoretical rationale as above, we expect transnational experience based on travelling and stays abroad to increase an individual's cosmopolitan orientation and cosmopolitan cultural consumption.…”

Several authors in contemporary cultural consumption research have argued that the traditional axis of distinction between highbrow culture and popular culture is in the process of being replaced by a new axis of distinction between an open cosmopolitan cultural capital and a more local less open, cultural capital. We take up this issue and study cosmopolitan cultural consumption, which is defined by its openness for and engagement with cultural products and services from foreign cultures. We have exploratively developed new measures of cosmopolitan cultural consumption, which focus on the geographic breadth of consumption beyond western countries and on knowledge, tastes and modes of consumption, thus taking the esthetic disposition in consumption into account. Furthermore, the data enable us to study the relationship between consumption and other measures of transnational experiences and identification. Our results indicate that cosmopolitan consumption is not rampant in the population. Furthermore, it is part of a broader pattern of cosmopolitanism that is characterized by supranational identifications, transnational relations, and experiences. They show furthermore that cosmopolitan cultural consumption is strongly determined by different forms of cultural capital, thus being a form of class-based practice.

Overall, while the privileged travel, the disadvantaged stay home: 'Mobility climbs to the rank of the uppermost among the coveted values -and the freedom to move, perpetually a scarce and unequally distributed commodity, fast becomes the main stratifying factor' (Bauman, 1998, p. 9).…”

The Bologna Process's Model of Mobility in Europe: The Relationship of its Spatial and Social Dimensions

Cross-border mobility is among the pillars of internationality in higher education. Understood as central to educational and economic growth for individuals and societies, mobility also should facilitate social cohesion. Yet those who can afford spatial mobility are unevenly distributed; elites benefit in far greater measure. Policymakers in Europe aim to bolster the competitiveness and attractiveness of European higher education, especially through enhanced mobility of students and staff. Extending beyond the successes of Erasmus, the Bologna process defines a new model of mobility in higher education to foster spatial mobility, but how is the social selectivity of spatial mobility addressed? Based on a theory-guided content analysis of official Bologna policy documents, the authors examine the principles and standards of mobility. Which dimensions of mobility are mentioned in these declarations and communiqués from 1998 to 2012? To what extent are spatial mobility's social significance and selection processes reflected? The authors find that the dimensions, benefits and effects of spatial mobility have been mainly taken for granted, and both its social selectivity and its effects on social mobility understated. However, if the Bologna process is to facilitate social inclusion, inequalities must be addressed. The authors argue that if the 47 signatory countries to the Bologna process simply follow the principles espoused in this model, considerable disparities in participation in international exchange are likely to persist, reproducing social reproduction of dis/advantages.

“…Nonetheless, more and more authors have noted problems with this approach (Anand and Segal, 2008;Deaton, 2010), particularly in Europe (Dauderstädt and Keltek, 2011;. In effect, a growing portion of the cost-of-living and economic capacities of Europeans does not have a strictly national character, as evidenced through the following observations: the increasing integration of the European space, the intensification of imports and exports, the international mobility of people in the European space, the online transactions, and the transnationalization of consumption and lifestyles (Mau, 2010;Favell and Guiraudon, 2011;Mau and Mewes, 2012). The level of transnational integration that has already been achieved in the daily lives of Europeans may limit the practicality of using PPS in comparative analyses of European income distributions.…”

“…In general, the conceptions whereby explicit or implicit perspectives of "methodological nationalism" prevailed are no longer applicable to contemporary social reality (Beck, 2006). Now, more than ever, social relations and dynamics, particularly those involving inequalities, are not confined within national borders (Wagner, 2007;Frazer, 2008;Whelan and Maître, 2009;Costa, 2012b;Mau and Mewes, 2012). Accordingly, the present study is grounded in the conception that we THE SOCIAL STRUCTURE OF EUROPEAN INEQUALITY cannot identify and understand the social inequalities in contemporary Europe unless we expressly analyse them as transnational inequalities (Costa, Machado and Almeida, 2009;Favell and Guiraudon, 2011).…”

The aim of this article is to present some contributions to the understanding of social inequality in Europe today. We analyse the distributional inequalities of economic and educational resources as well as the categorical inequalities between nation states and between social classes. The source of the empirical data was the European Social Survey 2012. We were able to calculate European income deciles, build a matrix of class-country segments, and analyse the intersections of this structural matrix with the distributions of income and schooling. The results reveal high degrees of distributional inequality in Europe. They also show the structural configurations assumed in Europe by the intersection of distributive and categorical inequalities.Keywords inequality, Europe, income, education, class.Resumo O objetivo deste artigo é apresentar alguns contributos para a compreensão das desigualdades sociais na Europa atual. Analisam-se as desigualdades distributivas de recursos económicos e educativos assim como as desigualdades categoriais entre estados nacionais e entre classes sociais. A fonte de informação empírica foi o European Social Survey 2012. Foi possível calcular decis europeus de rendimentos, construir uma matriz de segmentos classe-país, e analisar as interseções dessa matriz estrutural com as distribuições de rendimentos e escolaridades. Os resultados revelam graus elevados de desigualdade distributiva na Europa. Mostram também as configurações estruturais assumidas na Europa pelas interseções de desigualdades distributivas e categoriais.Palavras-chave desigualdades, Europa, rendimento, educação, classe.Résumé L'objectif de cet article est de présenter quelques contributions pour la compréhension des inégalités sociales observées aujourd'hui en Europe. L'analyse porte sur les inégalités distributives de ressources économiques et éducatives ainsi que sur les inégalités catégorielles entre États nationaux et entre classes sociales. La source d'information empirique a été l'Enquête sociale européenne (ESS) 2012. Il a été possible de calculer les déciles européens de revenus, de construire une matrice de segments classe-pays et d'analyser les intersections de cette matrice structurelle avec les distributions de revenus et de scolarités.
