| Resumen: |
Este libro proporciona el primer estudio histórico y comparativo del "activista transnacional". Una serie de importantes estudios recientes han considerado el surgimiento de movimientos sociales globales, la presencia de redes transnacionales y la transferencia o difusión de técnicas polÃticas. Gran parte de estos escritos han registrado el papel fundamental de los activistas "transnacionales" o "globales". Sin embargo, si ahora se reconoce habitualmente la importancia del "activista transnacional", entonces la historia de este actor sigue siendo un misterio. La mayorÃa de los comentaristas han asociado la figura con la historia contemporánea. De ahà que gran parte del debate en torno al "activismo transnacional" sea ahistórico, y las afirmaciones de novedad no suelen basarse en comparaciones históricas desarrolladas. Como sostiene este volumen, es posible identificar al "activista transnacional" en décadas e incluso siglos anteriores. Pero ¿cuándo apareció por primera vez esta figura? ¿Cuáles son las condiciones históricas que alimentaron su surgimiento? ¿Cuáles son los principales momentos en el desarrollo del activista transnacional? ¿Y los activistas transnacionales de la era de Internet difieren en número o naturaleza de los de años anteriores? Estas preguntas históricas estarán en el centro de este volumen. |

| Summary : |
This book provides the first historical and comparative study of the 'transnational activist'. A range of important recent scholarship has considered the rise of global social movements, the presence of transnational networks, and the transfer or diffusion of political techniques. Much of this writing has registered the pivotal role of 'transnational' or 'global' activists. However, if the significance of the 'transnational activist' is now routinely acknowledged, then the history of this actor is still something of a mystery. Most commentators have associated the figure with contemporary history. Hence much of the debate around 'transnational activism' is ahistorical, and claims for novelty are not often based on developed historical comparison. As this volume argues, it is possible to identify the 'transnational activist' in earlier decades and even centuries. But when did this figure first appear? What are the historical conditions that nurtured its emergence? What are the principalmoments in the development of the transnational activist? And do the transnational activists of the Internet age differ in number or nature from those of earlier years? These historical questions will be at the heart of this volume. |
