Critical Theories, International Relations and 'the Anti-Globalisation Movement' - The Politics of Global Resistance (Hardcover)

From the Zapatistas to Seattle and beyond, the "anti-globalization movement" has been grabbing headlines and capturing political imaginations worldwide. This book explores the interface between diverse resistances to neo-liberal globalization and a range of critical theories within international relations.
"Critical Theories, International Relations and 'the Anti-Globalization Movement' "provides a comprehensive and nuanced analysis of the "anti-globalization" struggles taking place in many different parts of the world. It shows the complexity and diversity of these movements and illustrates this with a number of detailed empirical studies of local, national and transnational resistance in the United States, Europe, Asia and Africa. The authors introduce a variety of competing theoretical perspectives from international political economy, social movement theory, globalization studies feminism and postmodernism, explaining how activism has influenced theory and how theory can help activists to modify their tactics.
The global protest movement has made a huge impact on world politics and this book is essential reading for students, scholars and activists with an interest in this area.
