Transnationalism

Transnational phenomena and dynamics are the focus of a blossoming yet fragmented body of scholarship across virtually all social science disciplines. There are five intellectual foundations for a field of Transnational Studies (TS) that offer a heuristically rich and compelling set of empirical, methodological, theoretical, philosophical, and practical ideas and options. An interdisciplinary Social Scientific Transnationalism (ST) research program that organizes these intellectual foundations in a unique and generative way sheds new light on a range of core social scientific concerns including power, inequality, culture, identity, movements, citizenship, institutions and organizations among others.
