Global Citizen Action

Abstract

Less than ten years before this book was written, there was little talk of civil society in the corridors of power. But now, the walls reverberate to the sound of global citizen action—and difficult questions about the phenomenon abound. This book presents the cutting edge of contemporary thinking about nonstate participation in the international system. Against the background of the changing global context, the authors present case studies of the most significant social movements and NGO networks influencing the course of world politics today. Their timely analysis encompasses the differing and conflicting interests and agendas associated with "civil society," shedding needed light on the forces that will determine the future of global governance.
