About this book (2002)
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.
