The dawn of the twenty-first century has been accompanied by an
upsurge of anti-capitalist campaigning, challenging the very basis
of the New World Economic order. Dramatic events such as the
protests from Seattle to Genoa, have captured media headlines. But
media headlines leave key questions unanswered, questions about the
ultimate significance of the challenges posed by global social
movements and the development of civil society, both South and
North. This book sets out to explore the lessons from these
experiences of social mobilisation. How can non-governmental
organisations, community-based organisations and the labour and
trade union movement develop effective campaigning alliances -
without becoming institutionalised and incorporated themselves? How
can they maintain an effective balance between winning immediate
gains without losing sight of longer-term strategies for
transformation? How can they work with celebrities to gain media
attention -- without losing control of the message? And how can
social movements develop organisational forms that are genuinely
representative and democratically accountable, globally? These
questions are explored through case studies of particular networks,
movements and campaigns, to tackle the causes of social inequality
and social injustice. It concludes by exploring lessons for
building global challenges to neo-liberal agendas and developing
more transformatory approaches.
