Förlagets beskrivning
How should the world be organized? And how should values be prioritized? There is an ongoing struggle between two visions: one advocating a world economic system and the other a globla society. On the one hand are the transnational corporations and the politicians supporting them who are continuously working to gain access to cheap labor, natural resources, markets, and the promotion of a culture of consumerism. On the other hand are workers and citizens who seek to place human rights norms, the well-being of the individual, and environmental sustainability at the center of policy. While the globla Neoliberal network is rich in ressources, densely organized and rather clear in its goals, its rival is ressource poor and faces many challenges. Can human rights, peace and international law, women's and worker's rights networks coalesce into a global justice movement? Can the global North/South gap be bridged? And what organizational forms should be employed? What contributed to the growth of transnational social movements during the last two decades, and how does this episode of contention differ from others in history? The book first develops a conceptual framework for understanding the two competing networks and the world political system in which they operate. This is followed by elaborating five of the major social movements: human rights, environmental justice, women's rights, labor solidarity and development. The third part discusses the opportunities and challenges facing the global justice movement
