This book provides the first historical and comparative study of
the 'transnational activist'. A range of important recent
scholarship has considered the rise of global social movements, the
presence of transnational networks, and the transfer or diffusion
of political techniques. Much of this writing has registered the
pivotal role of 'transnational' or 'global' activists. However, if
the significance of the 'transnational activist' is now routinely
acknowledged, then the history of this actor is still something of
a mystery. Most commentators have associated the figure with
contemporary history. Hence much of the debate around
'transnational activism' is ahistorical, and claims for novelty are
not often based on developed historical comparison. As this volume
argues, it is possible to identify the 'transnational activist' in
earlier decades and even centuries. But when did this figure first
appear? What are the historical conditions that nurtured its
emergence? What are the principal moments in the development of the
transnational activist? And do the transnational activists of the
Internet age differ in number or nature from those of earlier
years? These historical questions will be at the heart of this
volume.
