Conclusion.This book is an eye-opening account of transnational advocacy, not by environmental and rights groups, but by conservative activists. Mobilizing around diverse issues, these networks challenge progressive foes across borders and within institutions. In these globalized battles, opponents struggle as much to advance their own causes as to destroy their rivals. Deploying exclusionary strategies, negative tactics and dissuasive ideas, they aim both to make and unmake policy. In this work, Clifford Bob chronicles combat over homosexuality and gun control in the UN, the Americas, Europe and elsewhere. He investigates the 'Baptist-burqa' network of conservative believers attacking gay rights, and the global gun coalition blasting efforts to control firearms. Bob draws critical conclusions about norms, activists and institutions, and his broad findings extend beyond the culture wars. They will change how campaigners fight, scholars study policy wars, and all of us think about global politics.Cambridge studies in contentious politics.Culture and globalizationNon-governmental organizationsPolitical activityPolitical activistsHistory21st centuryRight and left (Political science)History21st centurySocial conflictPolitical aspectsCulture and globalization.Non-governmental organizationsPolitical activity.Political activistsHistoryRight and left (Political science)HistorySocial conflictPolitical aspects.320.52POL000000bisacshBob Clifford1958-1677214MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910823578003321The global right wing and the clash of world politics4043909UNINA
