Socializing Development – Transnational Social Movement Advocacy and the Human Rights Accountability of Multilateral Development Banks
AvLeon Valentin Schettler
Häftad, Engelska, 2021
523 kr
Skickas inom 3-6 vardagar
As Multilateral Development Banks increasingly gained influence in shaping global development, transnational social movements pushed to hold them accountable for their human rights impact towards communities. Leon Valentin Schettler presents a novel causal mechanism of movement advocacy towards MDBs, combining disruptive and conventional tactics. Systematically comparing the evolution of human rights standards and complaint mechanisms over the last three decades, he reveals how the combination of 1) declining US hegemony, 2) counter-mobilization by China and 3) movement cooptation by the World Bank bureaucracy led to a dilution of human rights accountability in the 2010s.
"We Are All Activists"
Exploring Solidarities in Activism By, With and For Refugees and Migrants in Hamburg
AvLea Rzadtki
Häftad, Engelska, 2022
815 kr
Skickas inom 3-6 vardagar
Who is meant when people talk about the citizens or the activists? Often, they are implied to mean the most privileged positionalities. Simultaneously, refugees and migrants tend to be seen through their (supposed) legal status. Thus, they are neither practically nor conceptually regarded as activists. The variety of intersecting positionings in migrant rights activism results in complex inequalities and power dynamics within activist groups. Solidarities are continually challenged, negotiated, and built. Lea Rzadtki develops a conceptual view on claims, challenges, and processes that activists experience and deal with. She moves beyond dichotomies and engages in transversal dialogue.
Fragments of Solidarity
An Ethnography of an Alternative Community in Modern Greece
AvMaria Giannoula

Skickas inom 3-6 vardagar
How is solidarity understood by the people who practice it actively and daily? What is the role of solidarity in reconciling the relationship of individuals with the collective demands of communities that fight for the rights of others? Based on a variety of anthropological, sociological, and philosophical writings as well as ethnographic research, Maria Giannoula takes an elaborated look at the emotional and spiritual aspects of political participation within an activist group in Greece in the 2010s. This study is a valuable resource for those researching social movements and alternative communities, focusing on the ways in which individuals organise their own forms of activism.
Law in Conflict
The Judicialization of Mining Disputes in Peru
AvAngela Lindt
Häftad, Engelska, 2023
889 kr
Skickas inom 3-6 vardagar
Peru's industrial mining sector is highly conflictual and characterized by social disputes. Many of these conflicts are fought not only in politics but also in the courts, as activists attempt to hold corporate and state actors liable for human rights violations. At the same time, they face an increasing criminalization of their protests. Law is thus both an emancipatory tool for activists to access justice and an instrument for political and economic elites to prevent social change. Based on ethnographic field work, Angela Lindt sheds light on various mining disputes in Cajamarca and Piura and examines the role of law in resolving these conflicts.
Opposing Desires
The Contentious Politics of the South Korean Anti-LGBT Movement
AvHendrik Johannemann
Häftad, Engelska, 2025
802 kr
Skickas
In times of right-wing populists gaining traction worldwide, conservative Christians engage in both continuous and dynamic action forms to gain societal and political hegemony. Hendrik Johannemann delves deeply into the contentious practices of the South Korean anti-LGBT movement, investigating its roots, framing strategies, transnational ties, and political endeavors. Sociologists, political scientists and practitioners alike will discover how this dynamic continuity runs like a thread through anti-LGBT politics in Korea, displaying not just another far-right success story, but unveiling also contradictions and internal conflicts.
Materializing Marxism
Contemporary Theory and Practice of Egyptian Revolutionary Socialists
AvHelena Zohdi
Häftad, Engelska, 2026
853 kr
Kommande
How do Egyptian Marxists, situated in exile and the pollical underground, materialize their theoretical and practical endeavors since the 2011 Revolution and subsequent counterrevolution? At the nexus of anthropology and political science, Helena Zohdi offers insights into the daily modes of action and knowledge production of Egyptian Revolutionary Socialists who continue to strive for revolutionary change despite all odds. Hereby a vast array of questions is raised regarding universality, the relationship between theory and practice, translation of Marxist theory across time and space, fraught political alliances or propaganda and counterpropaganda, while also challenging notions of Eurocentrism and relations to state power.
