The New Transnational Activism
The New Transnational Activism is a broad-ranging study that follows the paths of
transnational activists through a variety of processes betweenthe local and the
global. From labor organizers to immigrant activists, from environmentalists to
human rights campaigners, from global justice protesters to Islamist militants, it
shows how ordinary people gain new perspectives, experiment with new forms
of action, and sometimes emerge with new identities through their contacts
across borders. The book asks how and to what extenttransnational activism
changes domestic actors, their forms of claims making, and their prevailing
strategies. Does it simply project the conflicts and alignments familiar from
domestic politics onto a broader stage, or does it create a new political arena
in which domestic and international contentions fuse? And, if the latter, how
will this development affect internationalization and the traditionaldivision
between domestic and international politics?
Sidney Tarrow is Maxwell M. Upson Professor of Government and Professor
of Sociology at Cornell University. Tarrow’s first book was Peasant Communism
in Southern Italy (1967). In the 1980s, after a brief foray into comparative local
politics, he returned to social movements with a collaborative volume with
B. Klandermans and H. Kriesi,Between Structure and Action (1988); then to a
reconstruction of the Italian protest cycle of the late 1960s and early 1970s,
Democracy and Disorder (1989). His most recent books are Power in Movement
(Cambridge, 1994, 1998); with Doug McAdam and Charles Tilly, Dynamics of
Contention (Cambridge, 2001); with Doug Imig, Contentious Europeans (2001);
and with Donatella della Porta, TransnationalProtest and Global Activism (2005).
Tarrow is a Fellow of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences.

Advance Praise for The New Transnational Activism
“The global justice movement, anti-Iraq war protests, Al Qaeda,

and cross-border collaborations ofthe global human rights network, and
the international diffusion of Truth and Reconciliation Commissions –
throughout the social sciences, many are now studying the actors, relationships, forms, and strategies behind today’s transnational activism.
