Isi artikel

This articleexamines how the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) catalyzed cross-borderlabor cooperation andcolaboration (i.e., labor transnationalism), by creating a new political opportunity structure at the transnational level. Because there are differences in the way power is constituted at the transnational and national levels, theories of national political opportunity structures cannot be directly mapped onto the transnationallevel. the author describes three primary dimensions of political opportunity structure at the transnational level that explain howpower is established: (1) the constitution of transnational actors and interest, (2) the definition and recognition of transnational right, and (3) adjudication at the transnational level. The case of NAFTA suggests that while the emergenceof national social movements requires nation-states, global governance institutions can play a pivotal in the development of transnational social movements.
