About this book (1997)
Transnational Social Movements and Global Social Politics examines a
cast of global actors left out of the traditional studies of
international politics. It generates a theoretically informed view of
the relationships between an emerging global civil society - partly
manifested in transnational social movements - and international
political institutions. This book consists of fifteen essays, all
written by experts in the field. The first three parts analyze the rise
of transnational social movements in the context of broad
twentieth-century trends. A fourth part builds a theoretical framework
from which organizations influencing global governance can be viewed.
