This groundbreaking study sheds new light on the struggle to
define the course of globalization. Synthesizing extensive research
on transnational activism, "Social Movements for Global Democracy"
shows how transnational networks of social movement
activists--democratic globalizers--have worked to promote human
rights and ecological sustainability over the predominant
neoliberal system of economic integration.
Using case studies of recent and ongoing campaigns for global
justice, Jackie Smith provides valuable insight into whether and
how these activists are succeeding. She argues that democratic
globalizers could be more effective if they presented a united
front organized around a global vision that places human rights and
ecological stability foremost and if they were to directly engage
governments and the United Nations.
Illuminating the deep-seated struggles between two visions of
globalization, Smith reveals a network of activists who have long
been working to democratize the global political system.
