The publication ‘Étrangers familiers. Les travailleurs frontaliers en Suisse : Conceptualisation, Emploi, Quotidien et Pratiques’ is out now.

The publication gives insights with regards to the history and experiences of cross-border commuters while focusing on the term ‘Etrangers familiers’ in all its diversity. These foreigners from the other side of the border are also part of a cross-border space that they practice on a daily basis, through their work, their relationships, their purchases and leisure activities, and which therefore makes them familiar. Through conceptual elements, empirical data and life stories, this interdisciplinary work brings together sociologists, economists and anthropologists.
