Social Movements in a Globalized World

Social Movements in a Globalized World, 2nd Edition, is a textbook by Cristina Flesher Fominaya that investigates how citizen mobilizations address contemporary social and political issues. The work examines how people take to squares and streets to demand change across an interconnected world.

Coverage outlines core concepts in social movement theory and explores diverse collective mobilizations. Thematic chapters examine globalization, cultural resistance, the global justice movement, and widespread waves of protest that emerged after financial crises.

Written in accessible language for students and scholars alike, the volume grounds its theoretical frameworks in prominent international examples, including the Zapatistas and Occupy Wall Street.
