Policies related to thwarting transnational terrorism have been at the forefront of political and social debates. In this paper we empirically examine the impacts of socio-economic conditions on the probability and frequency of participation in transnational terrorism events. We use count data analysis techniques in combination with the newly combined annual data on transnational terrorism and ...

Organization, as a key concept for understanding the current global order, does not only exist on the international level, but increasingly manifests itself on the transnational level too. Transnational organization has many sources and appears in many forms. As a relatively recent phenomenon, transnational rule-making processes could be considered the most apparent expression of the shift from...

This paper indicates how economic analysis can be applied for enlightened policy making with respect to transnational terrorism. Both theoretical tools (e.g., game theory and utilitymaximizing models) and empirical techniques (e.g., time series and spectral analysis) are used to put modern-day terrorism into perspective and to suggest policy responses. From hostage negotiations to the installat...

Transnational ageing presents fundamental challenges to nationally bounded welfare states, which historically have tended to be organised according to a logic of solidarity among nationals and permanent residents of a given state territory. Nonetheless, the Dutch and French governments have taken steps to break this link between solidarity and territorially bounded consumption of welfare, by pr...

Studies on transnational healthcare tend to focus on the flows of institutions, practices and people rather than on the flow of knowledge. This article seeks to fill this gap by exploring the modes of instruction in siddha medicine and, in particular, varmam or " vital spot " manipulations. It compares the instruction of hereditary practitioners in South India and their intimate, long-term lear...

Building on previous literature, we assess when foreign aid is effective in fighting terrorism using quantile regressions on a panel of 78 developing countries for the period 1984-2008. Bilteral, multilateral and total aid indicators are used whereas terrorism includes: domestic, transnational, unclear and total terrorism dynamics. We consistently establish that foreign aid (bilateral, multilat...

Starting from reviewing the transnational venture capital investment phenomena, this article points out the necessity to study the transnational venture capital investment, and establish a theoretical framework about the research of the transnational venture capital investment. The framework is composed by the entry system that both investors and attractors find the values of the venture capita...

In a recent book titled The Grammar of Identity, Stephen Clingman addresses the notion of the “transnational self” as intrinsically transitive or navigational, by which he implies both the internal and external navigation, as well as the navigation between one self and the others. In his view, “navigation does not mean crossing or having crossed, but being in the space of crossing,” as in “acce...
