International
International (from Latin inter 'between' and natio ' people ' or 'tribe') means between states . The term was coined by Jeremy Bentham in 1789 .
In common parlance it can mean three things in relation to nations:
- on the one hand something that affects several states or their citizens (such as international agreements ).
- On the other hand, the adjective is also always used when something is valid or goes beyond state borders.
These two meanings include in part the term supranational , which refers to processes or organizations across multiple states or nations . For example, the coal and steel union was not an international, but a supranational community, which also applies to the European Union . See: Intergovernmentalism and Internationalism (Politics)
Recently, it has been noted that the term international in understanding language is approaching that of intercontinental or global .
Transnational means a relationship that is carried out simultaneously in the subnational, national and international and in the context of it.
To be discussed:
- Economic transnational companies (see World Company )
- transnational civil societies that can act worldwide through global communication and at the same time organize concerted local (national) actions such as demonstrations against war.
