Description for Transnational Struggles for Recognition: New Perspectives on Civil Society since the 20th Century
Hardback. "Recognition" is a critical concept for social movements, and while its theoretical and empirical dimensions have usually been studied separately, this collection focuses on both against a transnational backdrop. Editor(s): Gosewinkel, Dieter; Rucht, Dieter. Series: Studies on Civil Society. Num Pages: 332 pages, 1 illustration. BIC Classification: 1D; 3JJ; HPS; JPVH. Category: (UP) Postgraduate, Research & Scholarly; (UU) Undergraduate. Dimension: 229 x 152 x 23. Weight in Grams: 544.
Now more than ever, recognition represents a critical concept for social movements, both as a strategic tool and an important policy aim. While the subject's theoretical and empirical dimensions have usually been studied separately, this interdisciplinary collection focuses on both to examine the pursuit of recognition against a transnational backdrop. With a special emphasis on the efforts of women's and Jewish organizations in 20th-century Europe, the studies collected here show how recognition can be meaningfully understood in historical-analytical terms, while demonstrating the extent to which transnationalization determines a movement's reach and effectiveness.
