In this essential article to critical perspectives in International Relations, Rob Walker discusses the possibilities and limits arising from attempts to analyze social movements in relation to world politics. Social movements are often considered unimportant to International Relations and are generally relegated to the domestic political realm. Walker highlights the predominance in the modern political imagination of epistemologies that are universalizing and transcendence-based, on the one hand, and strongly rooted in the political experience of the modern sovereign state, on the other. Through the analysis of an Indian social movement, the author points to the real plurality and mobility of political imaginations and practices existing in social movements from different localities, emphasizing epistemologies of immanence that encounter tensions with traditional, universalizing readings of how social movements relate to international dimensions of politics. Walker discusses serious attempts to incorporate social movements into analyses of world politics, highlighting the limits of these efforts, such as the overgeneralization of structuralist explanations and the permanence of a statist perspective, grounded in the domestic political realm, in conceptions such as those of global civil society.
