Does religious commitment have a common political impact across national frontiers? To date, that question has been explored empirically only for Roman Catholics, who might be expected to behave similarly because of centralizing resources in their tradition. This article explores the extent of transnational political attitudes among Jews in the United States and Israel, two groups with less cen...

Unprecedented migration, a core dimension of contemporary globalization, challenges population health. In a world of increasing human mobility, many health outcomes are shaped by transnational interactions among care providers and care recipients who meet in settings where nationality/ethnic match is not an option. This review article explores the value of transnational competence (TC) educatio...

The aim of this article is to develop the foundations of an actor-centred, processual approach to examining the influence of cross-border knowledge transfer and management learning on transnational institution building in post-socialist countries. We argue that there is a need for more research to understand how key social actors go about (re)structuring, (re)defining and sharing knowledge with...

Contemporary feminist scholarship seeks the development of transnational conversations between women in different geopolitical spaces in order to confront the problems of a global age. Yet, if these conversations are predicated on Eurocentric and ahistorical understandings of South/North, first/third world and metropole/colony, feminism risks replicating these dichotomies in the name of a unive...

This study seeks to examine the ways in which transnational life is lived at different ‘‘local’’ levels. In particular, we ask: What are some of the important aspects of immigrants’ life that are enacted across borders? To what extent are ethnic media that serve the immigrant population connected to home countries in content and operation? To what extent does transnational news have local and g...

This paper describes an Action Research project which was undertaken to inform professional practice in order to develop a newly created Centre for Student Success in the specific context of transnational medical and nursing education in the Middle East. The objectives were to enhance the academic performance, persistence, integration and personal and professional development of a multinational...

This paper contributes to the recent debates and emerging concepts in the international business literature by applying a social-institutionalist perspective that focuses on the processes of institution building in ventures between Western multinational corporations and post-socialist enterprises. It is argued that the knowledge and learning processes within these transnational sites are consti...

This article generally examines the phenomenon of transnationa l religious actors and seeks to assess the claim that their activities can undermine state sovereignty. It starts from the premise that globalisation facilitates the growth of transnational networks of religious actors. Feeding off each other’s ideas and perhaps aiding each other with funds, they are bodies whose main priority is th...

Through a feminist critique of the ethnography method and the use of reflective HCI and global ethnography methodology, in this paper I will provide a discussion of methodological challenges for transnational design research using ethnographic methods. This discourse is meant to explore potential adjustments to HCI’s common use of ethnographic methods; specific attention is given to transnation...

The transnational approach of the science and technology studies (S&TS) abandons the nation as a unit of analysis in order to understand the development of science history. It also abandons Euro-US-centred narratives in order to explain the role of international collaborative networks and the circulation of knowledge, people, artefacts and scientific practices. It is precisely under this perspe...
