Introduction and overview: social movements and contemporary politics -- Globalization and collective action -- Social movements and democratization -- Islamist movements -- Feminism on a world scale -- The global justice movement -- Conclusions and prognostication.
Exploring the historical roots of Islamism, feminism, and global justice, the book also shows how these movements have been stimulated by relatively recent globalization processes. Moghadam examines similarities and differences among the three movements, along with internal differentiation within each. Her argument is informed by feminist, world-systems, world polity, and social movement theories in a seamlessly integrated framework that will be essential reading for all students of globalization. .
