So went the chant at the international parade leading into the2001 summit in Genoa, Italy.

This book examines all this and more with case studies drawn from seven different countries and synthesizing chapters on transnational networks and cross-national comparisons. Leading scholars from the United States, the United Kingdom, and elsewhere in Europe take a well-structured approach to analyzing more than 300 different movement organizations and 5,000 activists as they keep pushing the limits of what can be achieved by bridging old movements with new networks and by bringing politics back to the streets. |

| Publisher Description: "Della Porta has assembled a distinguished group of scholars who have made great strides in illuminating the early phases of the movement. The book includes especially keen analyses of the movement against global capitalism, particularly in its European manifestations." John D. McCarthy, Pennsylvania State University "Della Porta has skillfully coordinated a comparative study in six European countries and the US. Renowned scholars give testimony of the movement in their countries. This is] the first attempt to document a genuine transnational movement." Bert Klandermans, Vrije Universiteit, Amsterdam You G-8, we 6 billion " So went the chant at the international parade leading into the summit in Genoa, Italy. The global justice movement has led to a new wave of protest, building up transnational networks, inventing new strategies of action, constructing new images of democracy, and boldly asserting that "another world is possible". This book examines all this and more with case studies drawn from seven different countries, covering transnational networks and making cross-national comparisons. Leading European and American scholars analyze more than 300 organizations and 5,000 activists, looking at mobilizations that bridge old and new movements and bring politics back to the street.
