Are the growing oppositions to neoliberal market globalism
(especially in the aftermath of global economic meltdown) able to
develop meaningful alternative ideologies? Is there any substantial
alternative to the world capitalist system on the horizon? How
would the ideologies and ideas address the dire dilemmas of economy
vs. ecology, redistribution vs. recognition, global vs. local,
reform vs. revolution etc.?
This book answers such important questions by examining the
intellectual structure of the so-called 'anti-globalization' or
'global justice' movement. It explores the formation and
transformation of ideas, identities, and solidarities in the
movement. The book also develops an analytical model to explain the
movement's ideational novelties and continuities in terms of both
activist social experiences and global social changes.
Hosseini develops new sociological concepts, integrates opposing
theoretical perspectives into one approach, and addresses the gap
between critical theories and activist practices. Through this
endeavor, he discovers an emerging mode of consciousness which is
characterized by its cross-identity and cross-ideological nature.
This is a live but quiet global revolution.
Drawing on a variety of disciplines, this gourd-breaking volume
will be of interest to students and scholars of global studies,
political sciences, sociology and social movement studies.
