This compilation of papers, mostly written since 2000, represents my work since my book of 1998, 'Globalisation, Social Movements and the New Internationalisms' (London and New York: Cassell/Continuum). It follows the publication in Spanish, 2006, of 'Los nuevos tejidos del internacionalismo y la solidaridad' (The New Networks of Internationalism and Solidarity), Lima: Universidad de San Marcos. Any comments on the manuscript, or on forms of publication (or translation into other languages) are welcome.
