author: Donatella della Porta
description: A very well concieved collection of articles on a still new and largely unexplored phenomenon, in spite of the fact that and increasing number of scholars have started to tackle it in recent years. <i>Transnational Contention and Global Activism</i> brings us a step further on the track set by them. (<i>Mobilization</i>)<br /><br />Broach[es] with superb aplomb the highly complex issue of transnationalism, specifically among social movements which are already well-known for instituting chains of protest against a world system characterized by obstinate - and inequitable - neo-liberal globalisationPresent[s] top-notch scholarship: the essays, diverse as they are, cohere impeccably and synthesize inter-related themes with enviable precisiona treasure-trove for those seeking a more nuanced understanding of contemporary developments in the area of social movement research.
