An Analysis of the Transnationalisation of Collective Action. A Proposal for a Geography of Transnational Solidarities

This article considers the phenomenon of the transnationalization of collective action from a theoretical perspective. Our understanding of transnationalization & its practices is limited by the prevailing political process approach & its concept of politics, power & social change (Part I). The conceptual constraints, while not new, nonetheless take on a special color when the actions transcend national boundaries & spark collective actions through a "geography" of transnational solidarities (Part II). Finally, we describe the exemplary case of solidarities represented by the World March of Women which contrasts the respective contributions of the political process approach with the approach proposed here (Part III).
