Hi Torsten
For me transnational has the sense of "transcending borders" (almost a "borderless" idea).
The word international keeps the idea of clearly defined borders in tact.

Hi
Amy, Wikipedia agrees with you.
| Quote: |
Transnational (or transnationalism) focuses on the heightened interconnectivity between people all around the world and the loosening of boundaries between countries. Transnationalism has social, political and economic impacts that affect people all around the globe.
Very careful distinctions are now being made between international or multinational -- relationships between and among nation-states -- and transnational -- relationships between and among individuals and other entities, regardless of nation-state boundaries.
…Transnational is often linked to internationalism but differs in the sense that internationalism proper refers to global co-operation between nation states, while transnationalism aims to global co-operation between peoples, and the obliteration of nation states.
Whereas international includes the dealings between the government of one nation-state with the government of another nation-state, or of several nation-states, transnational covers activity which transcends national boundaries and in which nation-state governments do not play the most important or even a significant role. |
