In this book the leading sociologist Boaventura de Sousa Santos makes an impassioned case for the politicization of the World Social Forum. Since its inception in Porto Alegre in 2001, the World Social Forum has refused to take political positions on world events, preferring instead to provide a platform for diverse social movements to come together. de Sousa Santos argues, however, that the Forum can only realize its full potential as a force for social, economic and political change, by taking a directly political stand against the evils of neo-liberal globalization, war, famine and corruption. Through a detailed consideration of the WSF's history and organization, he demonstrates that it has always been an inherently political organization. If, he claims, the WSF is able to realize its potential as an institution for a new form of subaltern, cosmopolitan politics, it will become a global power to be reckoned with in the 21st century.

Das Weltsozialforum (WSF) ist das Relikt globalisierungskritischer Bewegungen der Jahrtausendwende. Auch über ein Jahrzehnt nach dem ersten WSF 2001 in Porto Alegre (Brasilien) ziehen die Protest-Events zehntausende Gegner_innen neoliberaler Weltordnung an. Mit seiner umfassenden ethnografischen Forschung verfolgt Christian Schröder die Spuren des WSF vom Ursprung bis zum WSF 2013 in Tunesien. Im Mittelpunkt steht dabei die Frage, wie es dem WSF - anders als vielen anderen Bewegungen - gelingt, so lange fortzubestehen, ohne seinen Bewegungscharakter zu verlieren. Basierend auf umfangreichen Analysen wird das Prinzip der Transpoiesis herausgearbeitet, demzufolge Bewegungen dann überdauern, wenn sie zwischen Zerfall und Institutionalisierung oszillieren. »Die Lektüre dieses Buches ist für alle empfehlenswert, die sich mit Sozialforen, Protestcamps und anderen sogenannten Freiräumen in sozialen Bewegungen beschäftigen. Schröders Bezugnahme auf Forschungsansätze außerhalb der Bewegungsforschung macht das Buch auch für eine breite Leserschaft interessant, die nicht in der Literatur der Bewegungsforschung heimisch ist.« Micha Fiedlschuster, Forschungsjournal Soziale Bewegungen, 28/3 (2015) »[Der Autor] legt insgesamt einen gewissenhaft recherchierten Beitrag vor, der insbesondere aus organisationssoziologischer Perspektive absolut zu empfehlen ist.« Björn Wagner, Portal für Politikwissenschaft, 10.09.2015 »Ein ordentlich ausgeführtes, methodologisch einwandfreies Meisterstück, das für Soziologen, Politikwissenschaftler, politische Aktivisten (und vielleicht auch für Geheimdienste) von Interesse sein könnte.« Georg Auernheimer, www.socialnet.de, 03.06.2015 Besprochen in: WDR - Funkhaus Europa, 24.03.2015, Martina Sabra Contraste, 10 (2015), Bernd Hüttner

Social movements throughout the world have been central to history, politics, society, and culture. Observing Protest from a Place examines the impact of one such campaign, the global justice movement, as seen from the southern hemisphere. Drawing upon a collective survey from the 2011 World Social Forum in Dakar, the contributions explore a number of vital issues, including the methodological problems of studying international activist gatherings and how scholars can overcome those challenges. By demonstrating the importance of the global justice movement and the role of non-governmental organizations for participants in the southern hemisphere, this volume is an important addition to the literature on community action.
