Reviews

Global Movements is essential reading for all those trying to understand our twenty-first-century society. It is the first complex account of new forms of worldwide protest and society. Tim Jordan, Open University <!--end--> This book will be fascinating for anyone who has ever taken part in direct action ... McDonald's work opens up a whole new world for other researchers on global movements. Development and Change Most essays and research on global movements adopt either a planetary perspective, or the subjective perspective of their participants. McDonald, in this brilliant and solid book, articulates both points of view. Michel Wieviorka, Ecole des Hautes Etudes en Sciences Sociales [McDonald] provides a particularly thorough and engaging theoretical introduction, evaluating the literature on globalization and social movements in US and European tradition and stressing the obsolescence of a focus on either structure and organization, or representation and identity.
