Phenomenology and the Hidden Facets of Global Nonviolence
Saving the “lungs of the city”
We have long witnessed conservation movements emerging in tandem with industrial expansion and urbanisation, but such impetus took a new turn in the 1960s and 1970s with the global birth of a new kind of urban environmental policy. In this comparative case study, we provide a close examination of two urban movements at the forefront of a new era of environmentalism, movements that bore lasting environmental policy agendas in their respective citi…
Demobilization by policy paradoxes
The Stigma Matrix
Have Repertoire, Will Travel
Nonviolence is celebrated and practiced around the world, as a universal 'method for all human conflict.' This Element describes how nonviolence has evolved into a global repertoire, a patterned form of contentious political performance that has spread as an international movement of movements, systematizing and institutionalizing particular forms of protest as best claims-making practice. It explains how the formal organizational efforts of soci…

On Continuity and Exceptionality in Our Present Crisis
Peace Studies and the Limits to Growth
150 Peace Studies and the Limits to Growth Selina Gallo-Cruz Scientists have issued increasingly dire warnings about the present and future danger posed by ecological overshoot. Peace scholars’ entrée into this discourse is often through a concern over extractive politics, a central locus for how conflicts are bound up in environmental destruction at the hands of the same industries responsible for ecological decline. Policy and practical respons…
Policy for People with the Fewest Choices
Prostitution is historically one of the most violent arenas for women, with exceedingly high rates of physical and sexual abuse reported by prostituted women. In this essay, I examine the debate over how best to provide safety and freedom for women involved in prostitution occurring between advocates for full decriminalization and advocates for the equality model, an abolition initiative led by survivors working for an end to the sex trade. Insig…
Peacebuilding, Liberian Women, and the Invisible Hand of Conflict in the Postwar Era
Liberian women gained international acclaim for their courage and persistence in bringing warring factions into a peace agreement in 2003, after a 14-year-long civil war that devastated the country, with over 250,000 killed, millions displaced, and a population left traumatized and in political and economic ruin. This study explores the challenges that women have faced in the years following the civil war with a focus on whether the international…
Films at the fault line of 'deep' and 'bright' greens in the environmental movement
In this article, I review two films challenging the technological solutions and assumptions of 'bright green' environmentalism, Planet of the Humans and Bright Green Lies. I explain the ways these films showcase a 'deep green' challenge to what is charged as magical thinking in proposals for renewable energy transition. I summarize how filmmakers explore evidence that calls into question the potential for new forms of industrial expansion to save…
Nonviolence beyond the state
Studies of nonviolence have taught us much about what makes nonviolence successful, emphasizing the importance of local circumstance and strategy. Little attention has been given to the effect of ties with international organizations on nonviolence: that is, how the embeddedness of local actors in global networks shapes nonviolent mobilization. In this article, a world society framework is applied with the objective of understanding the transnati…
American Mothers of Nonviolence
This chapter explores the historical relationship between and dynamics among feminists and nonviolent activists in the United States, surveying three waves of feminist nonviolent mobilization and interrogating the contributions to and erasure of feminist thinking from popular nonviolence histories. The US feminist and nonviolence movements were born of the same social heart among early, nonviolent abolitionists. It was from the experience of marg…
Navigating the new, transplanted self
The physiological risks of organ transplantation are well documented, but more poorly understood are the sociological ways in which organ recipients redefine themselves in reaction to physiological risks and social changes accompanying transplantation. This article analyses transplantation as a procedure that is not only physiologically risky but also poses risk to the social identity of the recipient, and explores how transplant recipients cogni…
The insufficient imagery of top-down, bottom-up in global movements analysis
Scholars have shown various ways in which new types of transnational interdependence influence conflicts and resistance. Conventional conceptualization often depicts movements as emerging from the 'bottom-up' efforts of distinctive, individual collectives to challenge the 'top-down' hegemony of bureaucratic states, multinational corporations, and some international civil society organizations. But globalization scholars, and particularly those de…

Weaving political fields
Global–local studies elucidate how local actors engage in often unexpected ways with global models, remedying somewhat the binary assumption that homologous global change acts in conflict with local-level agency. Here, I extend the domestication framework by exploring the global–local interaction among transnational and local activists as a ‘weaving’ of global and local fields through (1) the constitution of how new relationships, institutions, a…
More Powerful Forces? Women, Nonviolence, and Mobilization
In this survey of studies of women's nonviolent mobilization, I scrutinize “more powerful forces,” the mobilizing forces of marginalized social actors that add to and make possible the development of broad‐based people power. The study of people power has yet to extensively consider the contribution of marginalized social actors. Specifically, I ask: (i) What do women contribute to the development of nonviolent protest power and (ii) What can we …
Negotiating the Lines of Contention
Counterframing scholars typically identify counterframes that interpretively distinguish arguments among opponents. This approach assumes that counterframing strategy centers on directly countering the claims of protesters. In my in‐depth examination of the ongoing debate between protesters and officials of the former School of the Americas, I identify a form of counterframing that agrees with and embraces the moral alternatives implicit in accus…
