Describe, using an example, what “transnational advocacy networks” are and the resources they use.
What will be an ideal response?
An example is global justice movement. Through this, transnational activism has created new political opportunity structures and new resources: Groups can target international organizations instead of or in addition to national governments, and wealthy and more experienced groups can share their knowledge and resources with younger and weaker groups in other countries. Groups can also share repertoires of action across borders much more easily, as global norms around issues such as human rights create a sense of collective purpose. These changes have been particularly important for groups in poorer countries and under authoritarian regimes; their ability to appeal to, and borrow repertories and resources from, groups in wealthier countries has in some cases been crucial to their survival and success.
