Globalization from Below: Transnational Activists and Protest Networks

by Massimillano Andretta

Presenting the first systematic empirical research on the global justice movement, Globalization from Below analyzes a movement from the viewpoints of the activists, organizers, and demonstrators themselves.

They examine the interactions between challengers and elites, and discuss how new models of activism fit into current social movement work.
