In the face of globalization s massive social and economic
transformations and the resulting persistent inequality, activists,
labor organizers, and advocacy NGOs are seeking and creating change
beyond the confines of formal state politics and across national
borders. Given the breadth of local issues activists face, the ways
they define the problem and seek redress vary widely. This book
provides a unique perspective on these efforts, gathering into one
volume concrete examples of the implementation of different
strategies for social change that highlight the challenges
involved. This provides useful lessons for those involved in social
change, as well as for those studying it. Contributors to the
volume are scholars and practitioners around the world, and they
draw on strong connections with people working in the field to
improve working conditions and environmental standards of global
production systems. This allows readers to develop a more
comprehensive and grounded understanding of strategies for social
change. This book maintains a strong balance between breadth and
specificity. It provides an overview of the themes of social
change, which contextualizes and draws common threads from the
chapters grounded in specific geographic locations and political
spaces of change. The chapters analyze environmental and social
problems and the varying degrees of success activists have had in
regulating industries, containing environmental hazards, and/or
harnessing aspects of an industry for positive social and economic
change. Contributors draw upon different ways of creating change,
which include corporate social responsibility schemes, fair trade
regimes, and community radio. By providing insight into the
potential and limitations of actions taken at different levels, the
book encourages a critical perspective on efforts for social
change, grounded in an understanding of how conditions around the
world can affect these activities. For discussion questions for
