Globalization and Resistance

Transnational Dimensions of Social Movements
Herausgeber: Johnston, Hank; Smith, Jackie

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Globalization and Resistance brings together cutting edge theory and research about how global economics and politics alter the way ordinary people engage in contentious political action. The cases range from nineteenth-century Irish immigrant networks, to protests against World Bank projects in the Amazon, to contemporary transnational organizing for the environment, to the 'battle of Seattle.' The volume illuminates the different ways that globalization processes affect social movements, and vice versa.
