En los últimos años han surgido un sinfín de estudios, artículos y publicaciones donde comenzaron a utilizar el concepto de transnacionalismo para describir prácticamente cualquier actividad o proceso que signifique algún traspaso entre fronteras. Guarnizo y Smith distinguieron en su libro “Transnacionalism from below” dos tipos de transnacionalismo uno llamado “desde abajo” que debemos entenderlo como un proceso que surge de las prácticas que realizan los transmigrantes en su vida cotidiana (Guarnizo y Smith, 1998). Son migrantes que mantienen lazos permanentes con su lugar de origen y destino, es decir, construyen su vida por medio de intercambios tangibles e intangibles, continuos y sostenidos a través y más allá de las fronteras nacionales. Una construcción proveniente desde “la base” o “desde abajo” es decir, promovido y/o concebido por los mismos migrantes, sociedad civil, organizaciones de migrantes, que crea numerosos tipos de actividades en los campos sociales transnacionales, comprendiendo una enorme gama de iniciativas políticas, económicas y culturales, que van desde negocios informales de exportación o/e importación, hasta campañas realizadas por movimientos sociales de la comunidad de origen, buscando apoyo para realizar determinadas actividades políticas entre los residentes en el país de acogida (Pries, 1999).
