Transnational organization

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Transnational organization is a term used in scholarly literature. It refers to international organizations (usually, international nongovernmental organizations) that "transcend" the idea of a nation-state. By ignoring differences between nations, it operates on a truly global level.

The distinctions between international and transnational organization is not universal and has been criticized by some scholars (ex. Colás, 2002).
