In this age of globalization, transnationalism has become a major issue of the twenty-first century when the world is sewn together in a new patch work design. Characterized as 'border crossing', it underlines and permeates almost all aspects of a nation's life - from the economy to politics, from culture to the environment - while establishing no territorial center of power nor relying on fixed boundaries or barriers. It does not signal the end of the nation-state but it does mean that we can no longer think within its framework. Under transnationalism, the world is in transition to a new phase of modernity with an entire array of new phenomena, new communities, new threats and new cultures.
