pan-national多国/民族互聚（/协同）; multinational 多国/跨国
Explanation:
'pan' 强调各民族/国家在其各自文化特点和认同意识基础上形成的凝聚力或互聚力。可以考虑翻译成：多国互聚/合作/协作/协同，depending on the context.
如：Pan-Americanism, Pan-Asia, Pan-African
multi 则强调有许多部分组成。如：multinational bank, multinational forces

此外，西方学统中提到国家多注重nation state, 就是说，民族即国家，所以national多指国家，就像新闻报道中多见的 Multinational forces operating in Iraq.
而在中国，national 多针对民族（nationality）而言，如果你的context是以中国为背景，那pan-national 指的是多民族互聚／凝聚，multinational则表示多民族, such as 'Xining is inhabited by multinational residents.'
