So, these transnational networks
are shaping, structuring, giving sense
to this new world much more than
the traditional powers or the military powers.
Now you have
two kinds of transnational actors.
The first would be what I will call
aggregated actors that to say individuals
who are aggregated for creating
a transnational flows as we defined it.
For instance, investors but also migrants
are considered as aggregated
transnational actors,
non-organized but the social reality
is resulting from their individual initiatives.
And I will discriminate between
these aggregated transnational actors
and entrepreneurs.
Entrepreneurs are then defined
according to the Weberian vision
as an organized group which is directed
with very precise goals and with a clear strategy.
Among these entrepreneurs we can find of course
multinational corporations but also NGOs
but also some religious actors.
The Roman Catholic Church is an entrepreneur
according to the Weberian definition,
but also we can consider that transnational media
are transnational entrepreneurs.
So this is the global vision
of transnational actors.
Now we will move
to the description of some of them.
