ABSTRACT
Transnational activism can be defined as the mobilization around collective claims that are: a) related to transnational/global issues; b) formulated by actors located in more than one country; and c) addressing more than one national government and/or international governmental organization or another international actor. While forms of transnational activism have existed since a distant past, economic and political globalization have increased their frequency, as well as attention to them. Within the wider process of global transformations, the global justice movement (sometimes called anti-globalization movements), represents a key, though not unique, instance of transnational activism.
