Margaret E. Keck and Kathryn Sikkink examine a type of pressure
group that has been largely ignored by political analysts: networks
of activists that coalesce and operate across national frontiers.
Their targets may be international organizations or the policies of
particular states. Historical examples of such transborder
alliances include anti-slavery and woman suffrage campaigns. In the
past two decades, transnational activism has had a significant
impact in human rights, especially in Latin America, and advocacy
networks have strongly influenced environmental politics as well.
The authors also examine the emergence of an international campaign
around violence against women.
The conventions of the nation-state have shaped our contemporary
understanding of the process and politics of social movements. Keck
and Sikkink sketch for the first time the dynamics of emergence,
strategies, and impact of activists from different nationalities
working together on particular issues. This eagerly awaited work
will alter the way scholars conceptualize the making of
international society and the practice of international
politics.
