Bandy and Smith's book weaves together evidence from places as far apart as South Africa and the European Union, Poland and North Carolina, and Bangladesh and Brazil to examine the wide varieties of efforts to forge transnational social movement coalitions. Rich in empirical detail and innovative in theory, the book provides a concrete corrective to the sweeping generalizations that met the 1990s encounter with globalization. Students of globalization, social movements, and transnational relations will all profit from it.
