N2 - The phenomena of mobility and migration are growing as more peoplemove and frequently change their residences – intra-nationally, transnationallyand internationally. Traditional conceptualisations of nation-stateborders used to be the contextual prerequisite for “citizenship”, but this iscurrently being challenged. National borders are no longer a comprehensiveconception that can be used to understand and manage “citizens”. Thesociologist John Urry coined this phenomenon “The post-societal agendaof the world”, because national borders are no longer natural borders (Urry2000). Another sociologist, Peggy Levitt, further suggests that migrationshould be studied as transnational social fields, and not as “natural containers”of delineated national social fields (Levitt 2007). In this chapter,the focus is on the consequences of Danish national migration policiesrelated to transnational social fields, which Danish retired migrants enterwhile moving to warmer climates in Southern Europe
