Lucia Rafanelli offers a groundbreaking account of transnational politics that theoretically unpacks the state, the international system, and the range of foreign influence practices. Rafanelli centers boycotts, divestment campaigns, and other neglected forms of transnational activism to offer a nuanced model of intervention. This book opens exciting new paths forward.
