6 RETHINKING Globalizations Series Editor: Barry K. Gills, University o f Newcastle, UK POWER AND TRANSNATIONAL ACTIVISM Edited by Thomas Olesen 'One o f the most a p p re ciate d virtues o f civil society is its ability to frame old or neglected issues in innovative ways. Olesen's e dite d volume provides an Im portant contribution to this d e b a te on transnational activism. Contrasting civil society c a p a city to frame new discursive opportunity structures a t the international level to the resilient ability o f the state to exert restraining p ow er a t the national level, the book opens up new avenues to understand the pow er o f civil society actors together with its limits. Raffaele Marchetti, Lecturer of International Relations, Departm ent of Political Science, LUISS and University of Naples L'Oreintale. 'Here is a valuable collection in which top-rate thinkers offer diverse assessments o f the p la ce o f transnational counter-publics in contem porary politics. It is an im portant question, a n d the book offers novel a n d interesting answers. Jan Aart Schölte, University of Warwick. This book focuses on global activism and uses a power perspective to provide an in-depth and coherent analysis of both the possibilities and limitations of global activism. Bringing together scholars from IR, sociology, and political science, Power a nd Transnational Activism offers new and critical insights on global activism and power. It features case studies on the following social and political issues: China and Tibet, HIV/AIDS, clim ate change, child labour, the WTO, wom en and the United Nations, the global public sphere, regional integration, national power, world social forums, policing, m edia power and global civil society. This volume provides a balanced and critical discussion of strengths and weaknesses, opportunities and limits, in transnational activism. Addressing power from a plurality of theoretical perspectives within IR and political sociology, the analysis provides vital reflections on the understanding of activism and the understanding of the current globalization process and its challenges. Exploring the scope and limits of transnational activist power in the era of globalization, this book will be of interest to students and scholars of globalization, global sociology and international politics.
