New book by Professor Valentine M. Moghadam

Dr. Valentine Moghadam has just published Globalization and Social Movements: The Populist Challenge and Democratic Alternatives. The book examines social movements and transnational networks (Islamist, feminist, and global justice) in the context of globalization in all its forms (economic, political, cultural, technological) and in the context of the rise and spread of right-wing populist movements and governments. This third edition highlights the democracy deficits that have helped engender right-wing populism while also drawing attention to the potential for genuinely democratic alternatives existing among movements and governments across the globe.
