Situating Global Resistance - Between Discipline and Dissent (Hardcover)

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.
