In the globalized world of the last fifteen years, “international” has given some ground to the term “transnational”. It is loosely used in formulations like “transnational studies” and “transnational projects”. Avoiding the negative implications of “globalization,” transnational suggests something more fluid, beyond the concept of nation. Lurking in the newer term, however, may be both a threat to the legacy of the international age and also a way of disguising its tenacity.
