Description
While the study of NGOs, civil society and transnational activism has become an established area of research in international relations, there is significant scope for interrogation of new actors, spaces, and methods in this field, and how they reshape our understanding of the international. This panel brings together insights from diverse contexts through focused case studies including the pursuit of justice for marginalised groups in Lebanon and Sri Lanka, practices of arts and performance in queer activism in Bangladesh, the transnational links of the Milk Tea Alliance in East and Southeast Asia, and the international implications of local community actors in Southern Transylvania.
