  Human Rights and Globalization: WhenTransnational Civil Society Networks Hit the Ground
  UC Santa Cruz, College Eight Red Room
  For the purposes of this workshop, we define "human rights" broadly, to include not only liberal individual civil rights but also social, economic, and environmental rights, as well as collective rights. We propose to examine a series of "issue areas" in two comparative modes: across issues and among regions, with a focus on the dynamics of local-national-transnational civil relationships within civil society. We are inviting workshop participants to present papers that analyze the diverse ways in which transnational relationships have affected local and national social and civil society dynamics. Our hope is that exchanges across issue areas and regions of the world will provide new comparative insights into the overarching shared question about local and national impacts.
