Global justice networks

Geographies of transnational solidarity

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Provides a critical investigation of the 'global justice movement'. Drawing upon three case studies - a peasant farmers' network, a trade union network, and the social forum process - the authors argue that the role of key geographical concepts of space, place and scale are crucial to an understanding of the operational dynamics of these networks.
