Bokkapitel (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Protest against injustice and inequity is taking place in many places today, mostly in Northern Africa and the Arabic world. In media we see agitated people in the streets and superficial interviews are carried out, where no background and context to the upheaval is given. The protests are in opposition to neoliberal globalization, misuse of power and increasing inequalities. People struggle for survival, dignity and the right to food, water and health. The protests are often directed towards the government, but also against the visible gaps between rich and poor in the country. Boaventura Sousa Santos talks about the kinds of protests taking place against neoliberal globalization as a radicalization of democracy and as an instrument for social change (2011). Our example from Mozambique is one collective action related to absolute and relative poverty and citizenship.

Bokkapitel (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Today, many diasporan populations – residing in Western societies – have created considerable civil society structures that function not only as a substantial means of integration in their residing societies, but also as genuine transnational institutions that aim, in one way or another, to affect the politics of their former homelands, especially in the direction of democracy, promotion of human rights and peace settlement with nonviolent means. In this respect, the Kurdish diaspora in Sweden Appearing as an instance of global governance and an arena of transborder citizenship, the case of diasporan Kurds in Sweden and their transnational relations activities can be considered as a relevant and illustrative empirical contour.

Bokkapitel (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- What is global civil society, and what role does it play in world politics? Somesee grassroots organising transnationally, whereby marginalised groups pressurestates and corporations towards increased democracy and respect forhuman rights. Others hold that global civil society actors are instruments in aneo-colonial exercise of power over the global South, serving Northern valuesand political or economic interests.This volume discusses the multifaceted character of global civil society,constituting a political space where a diversity of actors struggle over valuesand aims, and where power and resources are unequally distributed. It alsoaddresses how the space changes character with new global actors such asthe BRICS countries, and with the waged War on Terror. The volume authors –academics as well as development practitioners – describe civil society actorsfrom across the world and various forms of transnational politics, displayingthe complex and sometimes contradictory relations of power that are at play.
