his paper is motivated by the question of how to generate political strategies and processes that
can facilitate the development of broad-based coalitions across differences. To accomplish this
goal, I argue, it is also necessary to create stronger links between local organising and
transnational politics, and, in turn, to translate the political strategies and organising frames
developed on the transnational political stage to benefit local social and economic justice
movements. I am especially interested in considering how difference matters in these diverse
efforts and how different discursive frames mobilise activism and shape political claims in
campaigns for social and economic justice in different locations.
