Publication Type: Conference Paper/Unpublished Manuscript Review Method: Peer Reviewed Abstract: The process of globalization has profoundly affected social movement activism. Globalization from above is countered by a globalization from below. Social movement activists in different parts of the world are linked by multiple formal and informal social ties. This article argues that a good deal of today�s social movement activism takes place in a transboundary space. To theoretically account for this phenomenon we need to move beyond the state-centric perspective that has informed most of the theories and analysis of social movements. This article proposes a set of conceptual tools with which to study these transnational processes. The use of these tools is illustrated through their application to the workings of the transnational network of People�s Global Action (PGA).
