Talk:Transnationalism

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I have done a draft merge from Transnationalism into Transnational. If you don't like it, feel free to revert. I chose to merge into Transnational because there are more articles linking into Transnational. If you disagree, feel free to merge it the other way and redirect this page. --Jonathan O'Donnell 06:07, 17 April 2006 (UTC)

It's been suggested this article should be merged with Transnational. I think that's a good idea. Revontuli 12 March, 2006

• Created the article, just wrote a short introduction. I hope for this to become the weekly collaboration. If not I hope people help to contribute to this article.--EatAlbertaBeef 22:23, 3 Jun 2005 (UTC)

How is this idea different than globalization? Does globalization focus more on economics (who is trading with whom, how much money is being made here or there,) and politics (how will these people live together, what are the powers involved here, how are decisions being made,) whereas transnationalism focuses more on cultural artifacts (spread and awareness of drawing styles, movie styles, writing styles,) ideas of what is true (science, technology,) ..? Is this a sort-of good understanding? LionKimbro

• Globalization is a phenomena, transnationalism is a philosophy and a point of view. Globalization can be viewed from a transnationalist perspective, but they're not limited to each other. Revontuli 12 March, 2006

How does trans-nationalism affect feminism? I read that it did, on another page. My question is: how?

It's my hope that by asking the questions I have, perhaps you can write a better, clearer, more plainly spoken article that answers them. Not understanding it, though, I don't think I can contribute much more than questions here. LionKimbro

• Feminism? I'm not sure. Transnationalism is connected to other larger liberal, humanist issues, of which feminism is one, but whether there are direct connotations, I can't say. On a purely theoretical level, I suppose anti-feminist transnationalism might be possible, as well. Revontuli 12 March, 2006

[edit] Merge with transnational

I think its not a bad idea to merge to create a single main article that describes transnationalism.

I also think some how, it needs to mention the comparison between multi-national corporations and transnational corporations in a sub heading topic.
