BISA WORKING GROUP on GLOBAL AND TRANSNATIONAL POLITICS
Convenors: Professor Sandra Halperin (Sandra.Halperin@rhul.ac.uk)
Dr. Chris Rumford (Chris.Rumford@rhul.ac.uk)- www.chrisrumford.org.uk


Rationale:

While the field of International Relations continues to focus our attention on questions of power, identity, sovereignty, legitimacy, and political action, Global and Transnational Politics represents an emerging research agenda which recognises that there are also political relations and issues that are essentially trans-national in nature, and trans-regional or even global in scope. Thus, global and transnational studies adds to the agenda of political studies a focus on political processes that transcend or transect territorial borders, and that directly connect disparate levels of political and social life.


Purpose/Aims of Group:

· to further engagement between the study of International Relations and the study of Global Politics

· to explore connections between and among political processes that operate at all levels or scales: the local, national, international, trans-national, and global

· to promote efforts to theorize and conceptualise the interface between international and global politics

· to further our understanding of the nature and direction of current trends of change in global and transnational politics

· to promote greater theoretical innovation and inter-disciplinarity in International Relations and Global Politics

· to build a network of scholars with an interest in contirbuting to these aims
