Reassessing the Transnational Turn

Anarchism and syndicalism can be studied as templates for processes of political and cultural globalisation. This volume, however, argues that anarchism and syndicalism cannot be fully understood with reference only to transnationalism. With implications beyond the field of anarchist studies and the history of anarchism, the book treats anarchism as one example of transnational social networking while challenging the status of transnationalism as academic orthodoxy, highlighting the gray areas between national and transnational, global and local, national social field and transnational network.
