Beskrivning

Rule and resistance can no longer be understood in national contexts only. They both have transnationalised over the last decades. The scholarly discourse, however, still lags behind these developments. While International Relations only sees institutional “governance”, social movement studies only see instances of resistance. Both, however, lack the necessary vocabulary to describe the dynamic interplay between systems of rule and resistance. While we are governed by transnational structures of rule, a systematic analysis of how this operates and how it can be resisted remains to be developed.This open access book develops an understanding of these power relations through rich empirical case studies of different forms of rule-resistance relationships. Some resistant groups demand reforms of particular policies and institutions. Others attack institutions head-on. Yet other actors attempt to escape the rules they reject. Which forms of resistance can we expect under different kinds of rule? How can we understand transnational rule in the first place? The book gives new inspiring answers to these difficult questions.The ebook editions of this book are available open access under a CC BY-NC-ND 4.0 licence on bloomsburycollections.com.

Recensioner i media

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.
