世界体系分析家们提请我们注意，下层群体为捍卫自己的生计和解决我们这个时代的根本冲突而进行的长期全球性斗争的重要性。气候变化、金融动荡和日益加剧的不平等正暴露出全球资本主义体系对越来越多的人构成的生存威胁，其中许多人曾经享受过它的一些好处。这些紧迫的挑战为社会运动创造了可能性，以吸引更广泛的支持，以替代全球资本主义。利用1953-2013年跨国社会运动组织（TSMO）的数据，我们评估了反霸运动为全球运动提供组织基础设施以改变世界体系的可能性。我们描述了社会运动之间的跨国合作的组织基础，并考虑人口的变化表明其反霸权的潜力。我们的研究揭示了实质性的组织扩张，更多的参与，从外围，区域化，激进化的问题框架所追求的活动家组织，网络关系，这表明更有限的和战略性的参与与国家间的系统。我们将这些变化归因于美国霸权的衰落、冷战的结束以及国家间机构的变化。
World-systems analysts have drawn our attention to the importance of the long-standing worldwide struggles of subaltern groups to defend their livelihoods and address fundamental conflicts of our times. Climate change, financial volatility, and rising inequality are exposing the existential threats the global capitalist system poses to growing numbers—many of whom once enjoyed some of its benefits. These urgent challenges create possibilities for social movements to attract more widespread support for alternatives to global capitalism. Using data on transnational social movement organizations (TSMOs) from 1953-2013, we assess possibilities for counter-hegemonic movements to provide the organizational infrastructure for a global movement to transform the world-system. We describe the organizational foundations for transnational cooperation among social movements and consider what changes in the population suggest about its counter-hegemonic potential. Our study reveals substantial organizational expansion, greater participation from actors in the periphery, regionalization, radicalization in the issue frames pursued by activist organizations, and network ties that suggest more limited and strategic engagement with the inter-state system. We attribute these changes to U.S. hegemonic decline, the end of the Cold War, and changes in inter-state institutions.
