The global justice movements: the transnational dimension

This chapter first provides a brief history of global justice movements since the 1970s, mainly based on the sequence of major events that have marked their slow emergence and high visibility on the global scene of the new century. Second, data on global civil society events are provided in order to examine the transnational repertoire of actions of the GJMs. Third, a profile of GJMs is proposed through the identification of their organizational structure and characteristics. Finally, a discussion of their identities, visions, and strategies leads to our conclusions on the transnational dimension of global justice movements.
