This comprehensive study traces the transnationalization of
activist networks, analyzing their changing compositions and
characters and examining the roles played by the World Social Forum
in this process. Comparing four of the largest global networks
targeting the 'neoliberal triumvirate' of the World Bank, the IMF
and the World Trade Organization: the Jubilee anti-debt campaigners
Via Campesina peasant farmers Our World Is Not For Sale and the
anarchistic Peoples' Global Action. Written by a scholar-activist,
the book highlights that despite their diversity, these collective
actors follow a similar globalizing path and that networks in which
solidarity is based on a shared identity perceived as threatened by
neoliberal change are gaining strength. Social forums are depicted
as a fertile ground to strengthen networks and a common ground for
cooperative action among them, but also a battleground over the
future of the forum process, the global anti-neoliberal struggle,
and 'other possible worlds' in the making. Global Activism will
appeal to students and scholars interested in globalization,
international relations, IPE and social movements.
