However, there is still little agreement on what globalization actually 'is' and some do not accept that it 'is' anything at all. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis new book addresses the contestation of globalization by the anti- or counter-globalization movement. To contest means to challenge, to call into question, to doubt, to oppose and to litigate. This study shows how globalization is 'contestable' in many different ways and how the counter-movements we have seen emerging over the last decade also 'bear witness' on behalf of an alternative human future. Ronaldo Munck presents an overarching framework that allows us to understand how globalization and its contestation are inextricably bound up with one another. This volume insightfully explores a number of case studies, including: \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003ethe battle of Seattle in 1999\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003ethe World Social Forum\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003epeasant internationalism \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eenvironmental movements and reactionary movements including: the US Patriot's movement, Islamic fundamentalist movements and other nationalist movements.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eGlobalization and Contestation\u003c\/em\u003e will be of great interest to all students and scholars of international relations, politics and of globalization and global governance in particular.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Ronaldo Munck\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0415376556\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780415376556\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/07\/2006\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 162\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.86lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.26h x 6.52w x 0.60d","brand":"Ronaldo Munck","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48136080031999,"sku":"9780415376556","price":135.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_c4ec199f-01a3-4e5b-b649-7f50ac9d4ce9.jpg?v=1770160377","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/globalization-and-contestation-ronaldo-munck-9780415376556","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
