supranational
Beyond national borders
Supranational describes authority or organization that transcends national boundaries, operating above individual nation-states: The European Union is a supranational body.
Unlike international arrangements where countries cooperate while retaining sovereignty, supranational institutions can make binding decisions that override national law.
Supranational governance raises questions about democratic accountability.
