Contesting Global Governance: Multilateral Economic Institutions and Global Social Movements

by Robert O'Brien, Anne Marie Goetz, Jan Aart Scholte

The contest to shape global governance is increasingly being conducted on a number of levels and among a diverse set of actors. This book argues that increasing engagement between international institutions and sectors of civil society is producing a new form of international organization. The authors study the relationship between the IMF, World Bank, and World Trade Organisation, and environmental, labor, and women's movements, providing a rich analysis of the institutional response to social movement pressure.
