本文认为，草根全球化网络，其中包括各种社会运动的协会从事多标量的政治行动。借鉴大卫哈维的好战特殊主义的概念（关于不同地理尺度之间的影响政治的问题），以及最近的研究网络及其与地方的关系，本文分析了人民的全球行动，一个反对新自由主义全球化的社会运动的国际网络。通过对人民全球行动的过程地理学的分析，本文提出了收敛空间的概念，作为理解和批判草根全球化网络的概念工具。本文认为，有争议的社会关系出现在这样的收敛空间，并认为这些理论化的网络，并为政治行动的影响。
This paper considers grassroots globalization networks, which comprise a diversity of social movements working in association to engage in multi-scalar political action. Drawing upon David Harvey’s notion of militant particularism (regarding the problems of effecting politics between different geographical scales), and recent research on networks and their relationship to places, the paper analyses People’s Global Action, an international network of social movements opposing neoliberal globalization. From an analysis of the process geographies of People’s Global Action, the paper proposes the notion of convergence space as a conceptual tool by which to understand and critique grassroots globalization networks. The paper argues that contested social relations emerge in such convergence spaces and considers the implications of these for theorizing such networks, and for political action.
