Keynote address: "The Spread of Buddhism," by Dr. Richard McBride
Transnationalism can be defined as a flow and exchange of ideas, people, religions,
cultures, goods, diseases, technologies, and capital across various regions that leads
to connections and conflicts across national boundaries. These flows and exchanges
have always existed in human history. Traders and merchants have bought and sold goods;
scholars, educators and religious leaders have spread ideas, religions, and philosophies,
and sometimes people and entire communities have moved to, resettled in, or conquered
new locations. Such movements and exchanges have transformed societies by altering
the relationships between different population groups and sometimes disrupting the
balance of power within regions.
