The Arab Spring put non-governmental public action centre-stage in
the drive for greater social justice. Governments, politicians and
international institutions increasingly court non-governmental
public actors, engaging them in policy dialogue, inviting them to
participate in the delivery of social services, and looking to them
to re-invigorate democratic politics. This unique collection
explores the different organizational forms, strategies and tactics
that activists adopt to pursue social justice goals and analyses
how histories of resistance impinge on contemporary activism in
both positive and negative ways. The authors examine how
established corporatist trades unions struggle to reform as new
forms of labour resistance challenge their legitimacy and proximity
to government. They analyse how non-governmental public actors
negotiate various 'civil society dilemmas' that emerge in the new
spaces for collaboration opened up by government, focusing
particularly on threats to their values, autonomy and legitimacy.
They also explore the efforts of non-governmental public actors to
secure greater justice in the sphere of production and
distribution, be that through co-operatives or through consumer
rights activism around access to essential drugs.
