About the Book
Transnational networks of civil society groups are
seizing an ever-greater voice in how governments run countries and
how corporations do business. This volume brings together a
multinational group of authors to help policy makers, scholars,
corporate executives, and activists themselves understand the
profound issues raised. How powerful are these networks? Is their
current prominence a temporary fluke or a permanent change in the
nature of international power? What roles should they play as the
world struggles to cope with the new global agenda? The book's six
case studies investigate the role of transnational civil society in
the global anti-corruption movement, nuclear arms control,
dam-building and sustainability, democracy movements, landmines, and
human rights. The conclusion draws out lessons and argues for a new
understanding of the legitimate role of transnational civil
society.
