THEORIES OF TRANSNATIONALITY AND TRANSNATIONALISM
Although limited in the questions it can answer, the study of global cities gives us
a glimpse of how transnationalized populations reorganize their spatial relations on
a global scale, a topic taken up as well, and with quite a different perspective, by
theories of transnationality and transnationalism. The former refers to the rise of
new communities and the formation of new social identities and relations that
cannot be defi ned through the traditional reference point of nation-states. The latter,
closely associated, denotes a range of social, cultural and political practices and
states brought about by the sheer increase in social connectivity across borders.
Transnationalism is referred to more generally in the globalization literature as an
umbrella concept encompassing a wide variety of transformative processes, practices
and developments that take place simultaneously at a local and global level. Transnational
processes and practices are defi ned broadly as the multiple ties and interactions
– economic, political, social and cultural – that link people, communities
and institutions across the borders of nation-states.
