The articles in this volume derive mainly from an international multidisciplinary symposium, “Foreign Impulses, Local Responses: Transcending National and Cultural Borders”, held in April 2012 at the Helsinki Collegium for Advanced Studies. Researchers from Europe, North America and Canada gathered together in Helsinki to discuss the issues and questions related to cosmopolitanism and transnationalism. A few more papers were added to the selection of conference papers, which were submitted to peer review and revised in the light of referees’ comments. I thank the anonymous referees for their efforts.
My thanks go to the Collegium for generously offering the conference venue, to the HCAS Writer Programme for financial support and to Sari Kivistö for being a helpful and co-operative partner in organizing the symposium. Thanks also to the Editors-in-Chief of COLLeGIUM Sari Kivistö (again) and Turo-Kimmo Lehtonen, and to Managing Editors Antti Sadinmaa and Maija Väätämöinen.
