Title Power Relations Under NAFTA: Reassessing the Efficacy of Contentious Transnationalism
 
Creator Ayres, Jeffrey
 
Subject

 
Description 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
manner in which the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) has
affected the styles and strategies of civil society groups working across borders
to develop solidarities and jointly undertake collective actions.
