Recent years have seen an upsurge of interest in the activities and
significance of the diverse assemblages and networks who define
themselves as engaged in resisting neoliberal globalisation and
promoting alternatives. They have been variously heralded as
representing a nascent global civil society that can democratise
contemporary global order, as globalisation "from below," and as
offering glimpses of more democratic and equitable forms of social
organisation. Whilst this interest in contemporary forms of
political dissent has enhanced understandings of world politics,
there has been a tendency to romanticise these activities and their
transformative potential. What is often missing is consideration of
the formal and informal disciplines that operate towards, within
and through resistance movements. This volume brings together
contributions from scholars in Europe and North America that
explore the ways in which contemporary forms of political dissent
are disciplined and disciplining. It provides a nuanced series of
analyses of the activities, complexities and significance of the
anti-globalisation' movement(s) and, in particular, highlights some
of the ways in which power in its various forms is implicated in
contemporary theories and practices of dissent.
