Introduction to Part I

This first part of the book is concerned with transnational men beyond the nation. The focus of this part is concerns that are often discussed in terms of the gloss “globalization”. These five chapters build on current debates around globalizing men and masculinities and the impact of globalization on men and masculinities. However, they also raise more specific questions on men and transnationalization, in terms of both particular sectors and social changes. The men addressed here are at the uncertain intersections of the national and the transnational, in its various guises, and thus concern processes that may transcend nations.
