“You G8, we 6 billion!” So went the chant at the international parade
leading into the
2001 summit in Genoa, Italy. Although scholars and pundits were still
stuck in Seattle, the evolving global justice movement rushed ahead
with new actors, new strategies, a new look, and more positive
effects. This book examines all this and more with case studies drawn
from seven different countries and synthesizing chapters on
transnational networks and cross-national comparisons. Leading
scholars from the United States, the United Kingdom, and elsewhere in
Europe take a well-structured approach to analyzing more than 300
different movement organizations and 5,000 activists as they keep
pushing the limits of what can be achieved by bridging old movements
with new networks and by bringing politics back to the streets.

Donatella della Porta is Professor of Sociology at the European
University Institute in Florence. Her most recent book is
Transnational Protest and Global Activism (edited with Sidney Tarrow,
Rowman & Littlefield 2004).
