Abstract

Revolutionary theorists have pointed to the “exemplary” in revolutions as the main aspect explaining the power of these phenomena to shape the international system. As a result of their internationalist commitment and their capacity to set revolutionary models, revolutions have a long-term impact not anticipated by even the revolutionaries themselves. Even though they might be overthrown or socialized, the ideas and the internationalist practice exercised by revolutionary movements continue affecting subsequent dynamics of contestation and thus defining world politics. In this article, I argue that the impact of Transnational Social Movements (TSM) can be analyzed in this light. To the extent that they aim to transform the international order, TSMs’ interaction with the international might be deeper than is normally assumed. In order to illustrate this, the article focuses on the Alterglobalization Movement (AGM) as a case study. This approach allows an assessment of the potential of the AGM to shape international politics beyond more immediate victories at the beginning of the millennium.

跨国社会运动的典范：变革全球化运动的遗产

革命理论家指出，革命中的“典范”是解释这些现象对国际体系形成力量的主要方面。由于他们的国际主义承诺和树立革命模式的能力，革命产生了连革命者自己都没有预料到的长期影响。尽管革命运动可能会被推翻或社会化，但其思想和国际主义实践仍在继续影响随后的竞争动态，从而定义世界政治。在本文中，我认为跨国社会运动的影响可以从这个角度进行分析。就其旨在改变国际秩序的程度而言，TSM与国际社会的互动可能比通常假设的更深。为了说明这一点，本文以另类全球化运动（AGM）为个案研究。这种方法可以评估年度股东大会在千年之初更直接的胜利之外塑造国际政治的潜力。

期刊介绍： International Political Sociology (IPS), responds to the need for more productive collaboration among political sociologists, international relations specialists and sociopolitical theorists. It is especially concerned with challenges arising from contemporary transformations of social, political, and global orders given the statist forms of traditional sociologies and the marginalization of social processes in many approaches to international relations. IPS is committed to theoretical innovation, new modes of empirical research and the geographical and cultural diversification of research beyond the usual circuits of European and North-American scholarship.
