Popular dissent, such as street demonstrations and civil
disobedience, has become increasingly transnational in nature and
scope. As a result, a local act of resistance can acquire almost
immediately a much larger, cross-territorial dimension. This book
draws upon a broad and innovative range of sources to scrutinise
this central but often neglected aspect of global politics. Through
case studies that span from Renaissance perceptions of human agency
to the collapse of the Berlin Wall, the author examines how the
theory and practice of popular dissent has emerged and evolved
during the modern period. Dissent, he argues, is more than just
transnational. It has become an important 'transversal' phenomenon:
an array of diverse political practices which not only cross
national boundaries, but also challenge the spatial logic through
which these boundaries frame international relations.
