Globalisation has more than one face. Global cultural and economic forces, particularly through the dynamics of huge corporations, shape the picture from above, but a new global consciousness, through the activities of social movements, is emerging from below.
While nation-states remain important, the development of these global social movements demonstrates that we are entering a post-national phase, with political action becoming more unconventional, open, participatory, direct and focused.
Global Social Movements presents a very broad and systematic analysis of our globalising world, integrating a wide range of issues. Human rights, women`s, peace, labour, religious and green movements are all discussed.
