Reviews
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)
Reydams rocks! In the Global Activism Reader , this intellectual impresario orchestrates a unique ensemble of theoretical and empirical themes on one of the hottest recent acts in international affairs: transnational advocacy. For undergraduates and graduate students in international relations, human rights, globalization, and social movements, this excellent mix of readings showcases the highs and lows of global activism. Bravo! -- Clifford Bob, Duquesne University, author of The Marketing of Rebellion: Insurgents, Media, and International Act
