Donatella della Porta is Professor of Sociology at the European University Institute in Florence.

"This volume not only improves the understanding of the organization, composition, activism, and motivation of the elements, both national and transnational, of the Global Justice Movement, it also provides insight into the social, political, and cultural aspects of anti-globalization activism. By comparing the information presented in the country chapters, the reader can also gain insight into the national political influences, positive and negative, on the expression of activism on the transnational issue. The result is a volume that is valuable not only for the information it presents, but also for the research questions it encourages the readers to ask. —Human Rights & Human Welfare: An International Review of Books and Other Publications (HRHW) “It has taken more than a decade for scholars to begin to seriously describe and explain the emergence of the Global Justice Movement. In The Global Justice Movement, della Porta has assembled a distinguished group of scholars who have made great strides in illuminating the early phases of the movement. The book includes especially keen analyses of the emergent movement against global capitalism, particularly in its European manifestations.” —John D. McCarthy, Pennsylvania State University “The Global Justice Movement has rocked the world’s political arenas many times in the years around the turn of the millennium. Della Porta has skillfully coordinated a comparative study in six European countries and the United States. Renowned scholars give testimony of the movement in their countries in what is the first encompassing attempt to document a genuine transnational movement.” —Bert Klandermans, Vrije Universiteit, Amsterdam
