Preferred term

transnational movements  

Definition

  • A decade ago, the term transnational movements would have seemed an oxymoron because the social movement was considered the quintessential accompaniment to the development of the national state. The rise of movements coincided with the rise of the national state; they grew up under institutional umbrellas such as elections and courts, and national states offered the opportunities and posed the threats around which they mobilized.
