The growing interdependence on a global scale which characterizes the human condition at the turn of the century constitutes a challenge for both the mobilization of social movements and social movement theory. This volume makes an attempt to adjust the perspective of the "political process" approach to a world in which political opportunities, mobilizing structures, framing processes and collective action of social movements are no longer confined to national political contexts.

Review
'A classic work in the field. In many ways, the field starts here.'
- Lance Bennett, Director, Center for Communication & Civic Engagement, University of Washington, Seattle USA
'This book was a pioneer in developing transnational activism as a new research agenda. It is now a classic. At its 10th anniversary it continues to be a rich and indispensable source of inspiration for scholars and students in the field.'
- Thomas Olesen, Department of Political Science, University of Aarhus, Denmark
