Globalization is not only increasingly visible in the fields of politics and economy. Social movements and civil societies are also facing globalization and actually were so in the past as well. This book compiles a number of key texts about the subject by authoritative scholars and activists. Providing a good discussion of issues such as typology and research question, covering the last two centuries and aspiring thematic comprehensiveness, it is a splendid introduction to the subject for students of political, social, and historical sciences, as well as for global activists. -Prof. Dr. Idesbald Goddeeris - K.U.Leuven (Belgium)

Transnational political activism is a central issue of our times, often holding the key to far-reaching change in human rights, environmental protection, and the quest for social justice. In the Global Activism Reader, Luc Reydams brings together a fascinating selection of theoretical and empirical perspectives from influential scholars on major transnational campaigns for political change. His cogent introduction and seamless organization of the volume into seven key issue areas makes this an ideal text for undergraduate and graduate students as well as essential reading for specialists. - Victor Peskin, Arizona State University
