Theoretical and normative approaches regarding the question of diversity and
integration, such as multiucluturalims and interculturalims compete in an attempt
to redefine citizenship and nationhood. Most analyses have been
single-theory-oriented, leading to multiple, contested and controversial
interpretations of integration and democratic public spaces. Transnationalism
raises the question of the limits of national public space and extends the
concept of cultural integration beyond borders challenging the normative theories
of multiculturalism and interculturalism bounded to national societies. Whatever
the ideology and objective in the understanding of integration, states are
confronted today with the transnational actions of activists who try to bypass
states in order to reach a global perspective of their identification and action.
Solidarity beyond borders involves a multilevel interaction between home and host
countries and leads the states to develop strategies of integration - territorial
and non-territorial - as a way of including identity issues developed in a
minority situation into their political strategy to "re-territorialize" them. The
objective then is to counter non-territorial solidarity expressed in global
religious terms, mostly virtual, diffused by the Internet, which attracts the
young generation, urging them to reject any or all national identification, to
develop a new pride, a sense of community based on a global identification.
