Transnational Feminist Networks

This article seeks to contribute to feminist theorizing, to globalization studies and to theories of social movements by discussing a new organizational form and a new form of women's collective action in an era of globalization: transnational feminist networks (TFNs). The article's empirical section focuses on the origins, objectives and activities of four TFNs, each of which links women across national borders around a common agenda that includes economic, political and foreign policy concerns. It is argued that the women's movement should be understood not only in terms of its local manifestations but as a global phenomenon, characterized by supra-national constituencies, objectives, strategies and organizations. As such it is an integral part of the growing family of global social movements and organizations.
