Transnational anti-globalization and antiwar contention shared the two-century-old social movement form

Evidence

Mobilization against the representatives of global capital overlapped with organized opposition to American military interventions in Afghanistan and Iraq. Millions of people across the world, for instance, joined the antiwar demonstrations taking place on February 15, 2003. (In Paris alone, from 100 to 250 thousand demonstrators—depending on whether you believe the police or the organizers—marched on that day.) Organizers and optimists spoke hopefully of a “global civil society” that would take action against the ravages of globalization. This new burst of transnational activism during the 1990s and the early twenty-first century marked the latest phase of a two-hundred-year-old form of contentious politics: the social movement. — Charles Tilly, Regimes and Repertoires, 1124
