What does China's rise mean for transnational civil society? What
happens when global activist networks engage a powerful and
norm-resistant new hegemon? This book combines detailed
ethnographic research with cross-case comparisons to identify key
factors underpinning variation in the results and processes of
advocacy on a range of issues affecting both China and the world,
including global warming, intellectual property rights, HIV/AIDS
treatment, the use of capital punishment, suppression of the Falun
Gong religious movement, and Tibetan independence. Built on a
unique blend of comparative and international theory, it advances
the notion of "advocacy drift"-a process whereby the objectives and
principled beliefs of activists are transformed through interaction
with the Chinese state. The book offers a timely reassessment of
transnational civil society, including its power to persuade and to
leverage the policies of national governments. -- .
