Abstract

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.

  • American activists have closely cooperated with local groups in other countries, including Russia: they took part in organizing the first and the second World Demographic Summits, both of which took place in Russia.

    “American activists have closely cooperated with local groups in other countries, including Russia: they took part in organizing the first and the second World Demographic Summits, both of which took place in Russia (at the Russian State Social University in 2011 and in Ulyanovsk in 2012; see also Bob 2012, 42-43).”

  • The current development of antigenderism reflects the nature of global civil society, which is ideologically diverse and conflict oriented, with differences cutting across institutions and borders, and with specific battles resulting in policy outcomes.

    “Examined from this political perspective, the current development of antigenderism reflects the nature of global civil society, which is ideologically diverse and conflict oriented, with differences cutting across institutions and borders, and with specific battles resulting in policy outcomes (Bob 2012, 5-7).”

  • A loose-knit multidenominational network of organizations and groups had already begun to coalesce around 'traditional' family values at the Fourth World Conference on Women in Beijing in 1995.

    “Clifford Bob's (2012) research on global right-wing activism, which emerged in response to the gender equality agenda's being promoted on transnational level, shows that a loose-knit multidenominational network of organizations and groups had already begun to coalesce around “traditional” family values at the Fourth World Conference on Women in Beijing in 1995.”

  • Situating diaspora politics within the broader literature on transnationalism and transnational politics has created a bias in much of the field towards understanding it in terms of progressive, liberal or cosmopolitan forces operating as part of a broader global civil society, and ignoring the extent to which it can also encompass illiberal and repressive forms of transnationalism.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
