Editorial Reviews

Examines issues surrounding international nongovernmental organizations (INGOs) that promote institutional and policy changes in the international order, also known as transnational social movement organizations (TSMOs). Combines historical overview and specific cases with an original theoretical framework of interpretation, with sections on TSMOs as a continuing phenomenon, mobilizing transnational resources in national conflicts, generating constituencies for multilateral policy, targeting international institutions, and theoretical implications. Can be used as a supplementary text in undergraduate courses in international relations and social movements. Paper edition (unseen), $22.95. Annotation c. by Book News, Inc., Portland, Or.
