Shifting Boundaries of Control
This article reviews the shifting practices of control along the border New York–Vermont bor-der in the United States and Quebec in Canada during and since the election of the Trump admin-istration in the United States. The authors argue that this period saw an increase in detention, deportation and securitization on both sides of the border, despite the differences in the politi-cal orientations of the Canadian and U.S. governments. Drawing on r…
Protest and Democracy
Envisioning a Green Energy Future in Canada and the United States
A variety of actors in Canada and the United States are actively constructing a vision of a greener society that includes an environmentally sustainable energy future. Canadian provinces and states in the United States share environmental management, corporations collaborate to drive green development and implement local energy projects, and activists on both sides of the border share environmental protest strategies and mobilization frames. A tr…
Globalization and Food Sovereignty
North America in Question
In North America in Question , leading analysts from Canada, the United States, and Mexico provide theoretically innovative and rich empirical reflections on current challenges sweeping the continent and on the faltering political support for North American regionalism.
Beyond Global Summitry
Recently there has been a marked shift reflecting increased theoretical interest and political practices embracing strategies of localism or relocalization against neoliberal globalization. Specifically, individuals, farmers, and communities embracing the framework of food sovereignty have increasingly adopted localism tactics in response to the globalization of food systems, the corporate agribusiness model, and attendant food crises. The spread…
Deep Integration and Shallow Governance
This article investigates the complex position of civil society within the unfolding processes of regional governance across North America. The analysis focuses on the region's evolution and institution-building under the North American Free Trade Agreement, as well as the negotiations that have accompanied more recent efforts to deepen continental integration. We argue that North American regional governance has clearly shifted from a state-cent…
The Marketing of Rebellion
Transnational Activism in the Americas
In recent years, the Internet has increasingly served as an important tactical tool for protest campaigns, arguably contributing to a restructuring of the repertoire of contention. This study analyzes a recent case of Internet-backed activism, focusing on the ongoing transnational mobilization against the Free Trade Area of the America's (FTAA) initiative. The Hemispheric Social Alliance, a coalition of hundreds of civil society organizations acr…
Turbulence and New Directions in Global Political Economy
Turbulence and New Directions in Global Political Economy, James Busumtwi-Sam and Laurent Dobuzinskis, eds., Basingstoke, UK: Palgrave, 2003, pp. xiv, 234. Few would argue with the observation that the world economy today presents a more changeable, unpredictable and unrecognizable environment than a mere decade ago. In the mid-1990s, at the heyday of the so-called “Washington Consensus,” neoliberal market orthodoxy appeared both predictably and …
Political Economy, Civil Society, and the Deep Integration Debate in Canada
We're launching the attack folks--and if we have our way, it will be on the same scale or bigger than past movements opposing the MAI and free trade. --Susan Thompson, Founder and Editor, Vive le Canada Canadians could be headed for another great debate on integration with the United States ... the potential benefits are elusive, while the pitfalls are significant.... --Marc Lee, Economist, Canadian Centre for Policy Alternatives It has been over…
Framing Collective Action Against Neoliberalism
The rise of the protest movement against neoliberal globalization represents one of the most signi?cant illustrations of social con?ict and contentious political behavior of the past several decades. This paper contends that central to the movement s rise and evolution has been the active mobilization of meanings or interpretations critical of neoliberal policies and institutions. In e?ect, the so-called anti-globalization movement has bene?ted p…
Power Relations Under Nafta
Over the past 15 years, students of contentious politics have increasingly linked the upsurge in protest incidents to the neoliberal globalization of the world economy.1 One of the more interesting questions emerging from this research is how civil society groups are increasingly “going transnational”— reshaping their protest tactics along cross-national lines — to better target neoliberal policies and institutions.2 This article assesses the man…
Global Governance and Civil Society Collective Action
Defying Conventional Wisdom
This book offers a crisp and thoughtful account of political phenomena still fresh in the minds of Canadians, and with continuing relevance to policy-making processes. As the first major work on the origins, strategies, and activities of movements and coalitions that arose in Canada and spread across North America to oppose free trade, it captures an important developmental period in Canadian political life. Focusing on an analysis of the Action …
Transnational Political Processes and Contention Against the Global Economy
Research on transnational contention has largely overlooked how global economic negotiations and arrangements shape transnational dissent. In this article I examine how neoliberal economic arrangements structure transnational activism. I first describe neoliberalism as an important facet of economic globalization, and then suggest why neoliberal accords have become lightning rods for protest. I propose that transnational opposition to neoliberali…
From the Streets to the Internet
The Internet has been widely credited with sparking a revolution in everything from consumer shopping habits and the management of stock portfolios to the practice of popular democracy. It is also leaving its mark on the dynamics of popular contention. Political protest traditionally relied heavily on claims makers' gathering in the streets to contest power holders. The Internet is altering this dynamic by electronically promoting the diffusion o…

From Competitive Theorizing Towards a Synthesis in the Global Study of Political Movements
This article examines cross-national social movement theory for its analytic utility in addressing the critical role that political processes play in social movement mobilization. First it critically reviews recent cross-national research on political movements, highlighting the growing body of literature which confirms the mobilizing role played by political processes. Second, it discusses the essential propositions presented by the three major …
Political Process and Popular Protest
The mobilization to defeat the United States-Canada Free Trade Agreement is used as a point of departure for reflections on the role political processes play in social movement mobilization. Previous articles in this Journal presented a resource mobilization-political opportunities paradigm in the study of social movements. This article expands this paradigm's analytic reach to a country that has contributed little research to the ongoing debate …
