You G8, we 6 billion! So went the chant at the international parade leading into the2001 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.
