{"product_id":"globalizations-and-social-movements-john-guidry-9780472067213","title":"Globalizations and Social Movements: Culture, Power, and the Transnational Public Sphere","description":"Globalization is a set of processes that are weakening national boundaries. Both transnational and local social movements develop to resist the processes of globalization--migration, economic interdependence, global media coverage of events and issues, and intergovernmental relations. Globalization not only spurs the creation of social movements, but affects the way many social movements are structured and work. The essays in this volume illuminate how globalization is caught up in social movement processes and question the boundaries of social movement theory.\u003cbr\u003eThe book builds on the modern theory of social movements that focuses upon political process and opportunity, resource mobilization and mobilization structure, and the cultural framing of grievances, utopias, ideologies, and options. Some of the essays deal with the structure of international campaigns, while others are focused upon conflicts and movements in less developed countries that have strong international components. The fourteen essays are written by both well established senior scholars and younger scholars in anthropology, political science, sociology, and history. The essays cover a range of time periods and regions of the world.\u003cbr\u003eThis book is relevant for anyone interested in the politics and social change processes related to globalization as well as social-movement theory.\u003cbr\u003eMayer Zald is Professor of Sociology, University of Michigan.
