Over the past decade we have witnessed the extraordinary rise of
new global movements that throw into question the way we think
about culture, power and action in a globalizing world.
- Examines three of the most significant global social movements
of the last decade: anti-globalization, new Islamic movements, and
the Falun Gong in China.
- Explores key dimensions of these movements, the tensions they
confront, and the crises that created them.
- Demonstrates how these global movements require a rethinking of the very idea of social movements
