She starts from the idea of 'transnational networks' but lodges these networks in their national settings in four countries in the Americas engaged in trade politics, and she carries out a masterful comparison of how their domestic structures condition their effectiveness and their durability. Latin Americanists, comparativists, and students of transnational politics will all want to read this book.'

Based on research in Brazil, Chile, Mexico, the United States, and Canada, it offers a full hemispheric analysis of the creation of civil society networks as they engaged in the politics of trade. The author demonstrates that most effective transnational actors are the ones with strong domestic roots and that 'southern' organizations occupy key nodes in trade networks. The fragility of activist networks stems from changes in the domestic political context as well as from characteristics of the organizations, the networks, or the actions they undertake. These findings advance and suggest new understandings of transnational collective action.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003ePart I.
