Critical research and theorizing on facets of the Anti-/Alter-Globalization Movement (AGM) has proliferated over the last two decades. Fewer accounts, however, have been written by scholar-activists themselves engaged in and reflecting on the constituent movements they are helping to forge within this amorphous, global network of networks. This volume provides a platform for doing so, and thus gives new empirical insights into the history and internal dynamics of the movements themselves along with the ways in which they are reaching beyond their geographical and issue boundaries to link with others in struggle, and thus constructing a broader global movement.
