To date, most constructivist international relations studies have
characterized the influence of transnationalism on domestic forms
of activism as uniformly positive. In particular, transnational
interactions are viewed as positive factors for the development and
daily impact of gender activism. Benjamin Stachursky's book
questions the unvarying positive view of transnationalism on
domestic forms of activism, arguing for a more nuanced analysis
that permits an understanding of the enabling and restricting
effects of transnationalism. Stachursky also challenges the
dominant view of civil society as normatively homogenous by
illustrating the complex relationships and conflicts that exist
between NGOs and other civil society representatives. He grounds
his theoretical arguments with a comparative case study on women's
rights activism in Egypt and Iran, which uses semi-structured
interviews with women's rights activists in the two countries and
analysis of documentation by local political and societal actors.
Looking at the period from the mid-1980s up to present developments
such as the Arab Spring, Stachursky analyzes the emergence and
development of NGO activism in Egypt and Iran, the social,
political, and legal context of NGO activism, and key domestic
debates on the impact and legitimacy of the actors operating in
women's rights activism. By closely examining the ambivalent
relationship between transnationalism and human rights
organizations, Stachursky proves that transnationalization has both
enabling and constraining effects on the domestic legitimacy of
women's rights activists and on their ability to create meaningful
social and political change.
