Globalization and Social Movements Islamism, Feminism, and the Global Justice Movement

What is the connection between globalization and social movements? How have people collectively responded to globalization? Have social movements changed to better confront globalization's economic, political, and cultural manifestations and challenges? And how are contemporary social movements and networks affecting the progression of globalization? This clear and concise book addresses these key questions, 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-to explore how both physical and electronic mobility has helped to create dynamic global movements.
