Abstract：
This research note highlights emerging findings that speak to the challenges of joining the transnational elite, particularly for those coming from the Global South. For a longitudinal study of wealth inheritors becoming more transnational via their educational paths, we spoke with 16 young people who were all in their early 20s and primarily from economic elite families in the Global South. Some participants had clear ambitions, while others were less sure about their future, wondering where they should move and what they should do when they got there. Their various narratives reveal that underlying the possibilities and problems of where to locate themselves was our participants\' access to different constellations of economic, social and cultural capital, as well as their race, citizenship and \'home\' country\'s geopolitical situation. Their parents\' ambitions that they become part of a global elite remained in most cases largely unfulfilled-despite a significant economic investment in their secondary and university educations. Only a small minority of our participants aspired to and/or were able to secure such transnational futures.
摘要：
本研究报告强调了新兴的发现，这些发现说明了加入跨国精英的挑战，特别是那些来自全球南方的人。对于财富继承者通过他们的教育路径变得更加跨国的纵向研究，我们采访了16名年轻人，他们都在20岁出头，主要来自全球南方的经济精英家庭。一些参与者有明确的野心，而其他人对自己的未来不太确定，想知道他们应该搬到哪里，当他们到达那里时应该做什么。他们的各种叙述表明，潜在的可能性和问题是我们的参与者进入不同的经济星座，社会和文化资本，以及他们的种族，公民身份和“家”国家的地缘政治局势。尽管他们在中学和大学教育上进行了大量的经济投资，但在大多数情况下，他们成为全球精英的野心仍未实现。我们的参与者中只有一小部分渴望和/或能够确保这种跨国未来。
