Eschle considers a range of approaches in social and political thought, from long-standing liberal, republican, Marxist and anarchist traditions, through post-Marxist and post-modernist innovations and recent efforts to theorize democracy and social movements at a global level. The author turns to feminist theory and movement practices--and particularly to black and third world feminist interventions--in debates about the democratization of feminism itself. Eschle discusses the ways in which such debates are increasingly played out on a global scale as feminists grapple with the implication of globalization for movement organization. The author then concludes with a discussion of the relevance of these feminist debates for the theorization of democracy more generally in an era of global transformation.Feminist theory and politics.DemocracySocial movementsFeminismGlobalizationElectronic books.Democracy.Social movements.Feminism.Globalization.909.829Eschle Catherine865973OCoLC-POCoLC-PBOOK996207967303316Global Democracy, Social Movements & Feminism2884503UNISA
