Floating gardens are a form of blue-green infrastructure that provide ecological benefits, including nutrient removal, habitat creation, and shoreline stabilization, while also offering recreational and educational opportunities. Guided by environmental justice scholarship, our interdisciplinary team conducted part…
Understanding Sense of Place Among Rooted Cosmopolitans: The Case of the Slow Food Movement
Previous research has provided compelling accounts of how the alter-globalization movement develops alternative visions of globalization that are firmly rooted in local struggles and place-based politics, celebrating cultural distinctions and local idiosyncrasies, while at the same time embracing global movement building and place-based globalism and expressing both local and cosmopolitan identities and values. Given these findings of previous re…

Understanding polycentrically organized movements: An analysis of the Slow Food and Fair Trade movements in Europe
The Slow Food movement and the fair trade movements have in the past been described as lifestyle movements and defined and understood in terms of their lack of explicit political commitments. In this article we consider the extent to which this view is still true today, drawing on the concept of polycentricity to describe and reflect on the activities of these polycentrically organized movements. The theoretically informed discussion we provide o…
Coalition Dynamics in Transnational Social Movements: Analyzing the EU Food Policy Coalition
In the context of policy discussions surrounding the EU common agricultural policy in the period after 2020, civil society groups across Europe launched advocacy campaigns to transform the CAP and EU food systems. This article focuses on the EU Food Policy Coalition, a diverse coalition with a wide-ranging agenda. How did disparate civil society groups with different areas of focus that include the environment, public health, and global justice f…
Implementing the Women, Peace and Security agenda
Recent research has demonstrated that the implementation of the Women, Peace, and Security (WPS) agenda can vary across contexts and that there can be different interpretations and understandings of this agenda and the norms it encompasses. This forum is an effort to explain the variation of implementation outcomes of WPS norms across international intergovernmental organizations (IGOs), non-governmental organizations (NGOs), countries and/or loc…
Norms and normative change in world politics: An analysis of land rights and the Sustainable Development Goals
The Millennium Development Goals guided international poverty reduction efforts from 2000 until 2015 and they will be succeeded by the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, which will be guided by a new set of goals, the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). It is argued here that since the process of formulating SDGs, targets, and indicators for their implementation brought together actors with different (and sometimes competing) issue frames…

Transnationalism and Diffusion: A Study of the Food Sovereignty Movements in the UK and Canada
This paper explores a number of questions surrounding the transnational diffusion of social movements and their ideas through case studies of the food sovereignty movements in the UK and in Canada: How do social movements in one country or world region diffuse to another country or region? How do social movement participants learn about other movements and their ideas in different countries and organize and mobilize around these same ideas while …
The Local Fair Trade Movement: Understanding Global Discourses and Local Activism

As activists in different communities across the US and around the world continue to launch local fair trade initiatives and campaigns, how do we begin to understand this phenomenon and what it represents? How do we interpret and make sense of local fair trade movements? How are the discourses of global nlovements tr…

Understanding the Transnational Diffusion of Social Movements: An Analysis of the U.S. Solidarity Economy Network and Transition US
This article focuses on the transnational diffusion of social movement ideas. How do social movements in one country or region of the world diffuse to another country or region? How do social movement participants learn about other movements and ideas in faraway countries and mobilize around these same ideas? What are the channels and mechanisms of diffusion? These are the research questions the article addresses. I draw on the theoretical litera…
Responsibility to Protect: The Evolution of an International Norm
This paper draws on the theoretical literature on the emergence and evolution of new international norms and on the norm lifecycle model to explain the emergence of the Responsibility to Protect (R2P) norm and analyse its current international status. It analyses the challenges that the norm faces, explains why it is still tenuous and discusses its prospects. I find that the characteristics inherent to the norm of R2P, especially its specificity …
Civil society advocacy and the diffusion of violence against women norms: An analysis of the International Violence Against Women Act
This article analyzes the advocacy campaign and the policy process surrounding the International Violence Against Women Act (I-VAWA) in the United States and explains the mobilization of this campaign and its political outcomes to date. The main question the article explores is: How can we interpret the effort by advocacy groups in the United States to use the domestic political process to advance their international goals? The findings suggest t…
Organizational structure and strength and transnational campaign outcomes: A Comparison of Two Transnational Advocacy Networks
In this article I address the question of why some transnational advocacy networks (TANs) are better able to influence policy outcomes than others. How do we explain the variation in the political impact of TAN campaigns? Drawing on some of the theoretical formulations developed by social movement and international relations scholars, I argue that organizational structure and organizational strength can help us understand this variation. A compar…
Issue Frames and the Political Outcomes of Transnational Campaigns: A Comparison of the Jubilee 2000 Movement and the Currency Transaction Tax Campaign
Since the end of the Cold War, a large number of transnational advocacy networks (TANs) have launched campaigns focusing on a number of different global issues. Some of these campaigns have been quite successful in influencing global public policy, while others have not. What accounts for differences in TANs' ability to shape the global policy process? How can we explain the variation in TAN campaign outcomes? To answer these questions, I draw on…
Political Opportunity Structures and the Outcomes of Transnational Campaigns: A Comparison of Two Transnational Advocacy Networks
Two of the most prominent transnational advocacy networks that were launched in the 1990s are the International Campaign to Ban Landmines (ICBL) and the International Action Network on Small Arms (IANSA). The ICBL was very successful in shaping global policy on landmines, while IANSA has had much less political impact. To explain the substantial difference in the political outcomes of these otherwise quite similar campaigns, this article draws on…
