Legalizing Transnational Activism : The Struggle To Gain Social Change From NAFTA’s Citizen Petitions

Attribution
Jonathan Graubart
Publication Details
Book, Pennsylvania State University Press, 2008
Description
?Legalizing Transnational Activism is an invaluable contribution to our knowledge of NAFTA and social policy. Graubart?s ability to weave together the legal and the political, and the domestic and the transnational, brings to life a story of contentious politics that will be of keen interest to political scientists, legal scholars, and engaged citizens trying to understand NAFTA beyond the polemics.? The political activism and social movements that have given rise to protests?like the violent demonstrations in Seattle at the WTO meeting in 1999?have been the subject of study by scholars, but less well known is the role that some institutional mechanisms associated with international trade agreements have played in providing ?political opportunity structures?

- TABLE OF CONTENTS

The authors discover that the reluctance of employees in the United States to join unions, compared with those in Canada, is rooted less in their attitudes toward unions, and more in the former country’s deep-seated tradition of individualism and laissez-faire economic values.” (automatically summarized from Amazon.com)
