This opening article to this special issue on transnationalization and globalization first describes how transnationalization is different from globalization. It clarifies recent debates regarding the processes of transnationalization and locates the authors of this issue within these frameworks. In the process, this article and the special issue help unravel the dynamics of the complex term and phenomenon `transnationalization' and point to directions for fruitful future research.

Key Words: cultural • economic • global • globalization • inequalities • international • social political • transnationalization
