Abstract
The main focus of this article is the discursive analysis of internationalism. Within communication scholarship, the term `international' has primarily been treated as the sum total of already existing nation formations, each understood in terms of political, economic and administrative institutions and practices. This approach neglects the practices of signification through which international communities are constructed and legitimized. Analysis of discourses of internationalism is important because they are powerfully constitutive of people's identities, and also provide important insight into the contemporary reproduction of the `nation-form'. The article illustrates this by examining how the idea of a humanitarian community of nations is deployed by transnational agricultural corporations.
