Have Repertoire, Will Travel: INGOs and the Globalization of Nonviolence Public

Abstract

Typical scholarly treatments of nonviolent protest tend to view protest movements as originating among regional mobilization efforts. This is problematic as both the targets and the dynamics of collective action networks have become increasingly transnational. Constructing a global level framework for repertoire emergence, I examine the structural and cultural changes shaping the development of a global nonviolence movement. I first analyze historical data outlining the global conceptualization, systematization, and institutionalization of the nonviolence repertoire. And I explain how the decentralized structure of the world polity and the development of a new global moral order sacralizing the human collective opened opportunities and established the basis for the emergence of a global repertoire of nonviolent claimsmaking routines. I then discuss, with analysis of a longitudinal statistical model, how international NGOs have become important markers of the potential for local movements to protest nonviolently. And I conclude by drawing on an in-depth interview and archival analysis of nonviolent INGOs to explain how they work to expand world cultural modes of claimsmaking. I detail their efforts in transforming the local political process and at fostering multi-level linkages, universalizing social problems, and in professionalizing the global spread of peace-work among civil societies.
