In times of growing resistance at national and transnational level, the bridging of knowledge in International Relations and Social Movement Studies emerges as all the more needed. In this enterprise, the conceptualization of rule beyond the national level is a challenge that this book addresses convincingly, starting from the perspective of resistant actors. Theoretically original and empirically rich, this volume provides a ground-breaking contribution to the understanding of some of the most relevant conflicts nowadays.
