ABSTRACT
Although economics and terrorism dominate headlines about globalization, other global realities are beginning to receive greater scrutiny. These include social inequality between the Global South and North, immigrant and refugee flows, crime and human trafficking, and environmental challenges (Held et al. 1999). Attention has also shifted to solutions for global social issues, including emerging transnational social movements (Keck and Sikkink 1998), global civil society (Clark 2003, 1–23; Kaldor 2003), and global and regional social policy developments (Deacon 1994; Mishra 1999; Prior and Sykes 2001, 195–210).
