Transnational Activism in States
-Transnational Activism It pertains to social movements, societies, and people who function beyond their own countries. It also encompasses joint global endeavors by groups of activists to challenge international actors, foreign nations, or international establishments.
So basically their purpose is to promote or oppose some form of change internationally or across borders.
-Social Movement
It is a a collective challenge to elites, authorities, other groups or cultural codes by people with common purposes and solidarity in sustained interactions
It strives to generate policy or cultural change and to work to generate awareness and enact change for an issue or population in need of support and resources.
-Global Justice Movement
It is often labeled the anti-globalization movement by the mainstream media. Those involved, frequently deny that they are anti-globalization, insisting that they support the globalization of communication and people and oppose only the global expansion of corporate power
It has been employed as an umbrella term to denote a diverse constellation of organizations, groups, and networks, working with varying degrees of cooperation on a broad range of issues – from the indebtedness of the world's poorest countries, the inequities of the global trade in goods and services, international peace, and environmental degradation, to the human rights of workers and immigrants, especially in less economically developed countries. -New Transnational Activism (Sidney Tarrow)
Although globalization and global neoliberalism are frames around which many activists mobilize, the protests and organizations we have seen in this study are not the product of a global imaginary but of domestically rooted activists who target dictatorship,human rights abuse, HIV/AIDS, or militarism _____________________________________________________________________
