Overview

This clear and concise book examines social movements and transnational networks in the context of globalization in all its forms-economic, political, cultural, and technological alike. Deftly combining nuanced theory with rich empirical examples, leading scholar Valentine M. Moghadam focuses especially on three transnational social movements-Islamism, feminism, and global justice. Now updated to account for the European anti-austerity protests, the Arab Spring, and Occupy Wall Street, the book considers how the protests especially were affected by the role of young people and social networking media. The book also includes a new chapter on the democratic nature of social movements, or the ways in which social movements contribute to democratization at both national and global levels. Moghadam's analysis and powerful case studies will be essential reading for all students of globalization.
