Transnational antiglobalization activism extends a two-century-old social-movement form
Evidence
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
During the nineteenth century, social-movement politics frequently went international over such issues as Irish independence and workers’ rights (Hanagan 1999, 2003; Keck and Sikkink 2000). Evian’s agitators were packing new connections, techniques, and programs into their own versions of a well-worn contentious routine. It remains to be seen whether a deeper split will open up between the character of local, regional, and national social movements, on one side, and the transnational arena, on the other. — Charles Tilly, Regimes and Repertoires, 1166
Categorization
- QUESTION: Tilly leaves open whether local and transnational social movements will split apart — directly relevant to testing whether the regime-repertoire framework extends across scales.
- XREF: Speaks to the reader’s hypothesis test: if regimes shape repertoires, does a transnational arena with no single regime produce a distinct repertoire — echoing Keck & Sikkink’s boilerplate model in the reader’s existing network literature. — connects to: Democracy plus high capacity generated the social-movement repertoire bundling old performances. — Charles Tilly, Regimes and Repertoires, 1071; Demonstrations detached from social movements and diffused into nondemocratic regimes — Charles Tilly, Regimes and Repertoires, 1232; A worldwide wave of anti-establishment movements-from Tea Party to Gezi-Park broke out 2009-2013 — Anton Jäger, Hyperpolitics: Extreme Politicization…, 167 (+3 more)
- corroborated: 3 independent passages support this claim — Charles Tilly, Regimes and Repertoires, 1124; Charles Tilly, Regimes and Repertoires, 1166
