 Fonte | The Ideological War Within the West
Transnational progressives have been altering the definition of "democracy" from that of a system of majority rule among equal citizens to one of power sharing among ethnic groups composed of both citizens and non-citizens.
Transnational advocates argue that globalization requires some form of "global governance" because they believe that the nation-state and the idea of national citizenship are ill suited to deal with the global problems of the future.
The social base of transnational progressivism constitutes a rising postnational intelligentsia (international law professors, NGO activists, foundation officers, UN bureaucrats, EU administrators, corporate executives, and politicians.) When social movements such as "transnationalism" and "global governance" are depicted as the result of social forces or the movement of history, a certain impersonal inevitability is implied.

 geschichte.transnational / Forum / Artikel / Going transnational? News from down under
It was implicit in Marilyn Lake's account that going transnational to study the connections of the Australian feminist activists was sort of a logical spin-off of the 'oppositional' position which had pushed her to investigate subjects like labour and women history when she began her research career.
Transnational connections are one aspect of these, especially relevant for the contemporary era when, in a simultaneous movement, regional and global flows of all sorts become more salient and important while the nation-states borders are increasingly prescriptive and coercitive when it is about controlling those flows and movements.
Also, while the transnational objects have their own ways and their own history, it is clear that the trajectories of people, goods, capital, words and might are shaped by the history of national, local, regional or global formations.

 Transnational Education - Lesley Wilson and Lazar Vlasceanu
Given the expansion of transnational education, and of qualifications awarded by such type of institutions, a growing tension between national education systems and transnational education is emerging.
By all accounts, transnational education is here to stay and cannot be disregarded in the name of past national glories or considered as a mere temporary phenomenon.
For some, transnational education is viewed as a means of improving access and of enhancing quality, especially with regard to professional education, and more generally, "widening learning opportunities without any prejudice either to the standard of the award or qualification or the quality of what is offered to the students".

Transnational feminist activists, for instance, confront the limitations of global feminism, and in particular the assumption of a global sisterhood (where gender is assumed to unite women).
Transnational analyses of the history of modernity allow us to engage with different languages of justice and rights that are themselves differentially tied to social structures of power within local, regional, and global contexts.

This work, though often interdisciplinary, generally treats transnational dynamics and institutions as if they were unconnected to one another and theorizes about them separately.
To accomplish this, we have organized a series of activities including empirical research, curriculum development, and workshops and research conversations on topics such as transnational citizenship, transnational identities and institutions, multi-stakeholder sovereignty and governance, religion, terrorism, arts and culture, and corporate citizenship/social responsibility.
Our goal is to identify the common themes, structures, ideas, and institutions that characterize transnational social dynamics and processes in different arenas, and to understand how we must rethink conventional notions about identity, citizenship, community, and society in response.
