N2  - Over the last two decades there has been a sea change in the nature of activism, with groups increasingly networking, launching campaigns, petitioning and framing their demands at the international level. This study examines this development and explores the special role of the World Social Forum; "In this age of globalization, activists are going global. Ruth Reitan traces the transnationalization of activist networks, analyzes their changing compositions and characters, and examines the roles played by the World Social Forum in this process. This text will strongly appeal to those interested in globalization, International Relations, IPE and social movements."--BOOK JACKET
