Introduction

Abstract

This book is a collection of essays on the transnational Right. We define transnationalism as the flow and pattern of relationships across national boundaries. Our use of the term transnationalism denotes those movements, organizations, ideas, or networks that include but move beyond the nation. We distinguish the transnational from the global or the international because both of these terms imply the whole world, while transnational suggests connections among and between forces from various-perhaps many-but not necessarily all nations. Our use of transnationalism recognizes the often scattered and uneven nature of connections between and among peoples, groups, governments, and networks.
