Globalization and Social Movements

This book uses case studies and theoretical reflection to contextualize the linkages between collective action theories, social movement practices, and the phenomenon of globalization. The perspectives presented will force a rethinking of the exact meaning of globalization and the way in which such insights can be used to advance understanding of basic transformations occurring in the diverse world of the 21st century.
