Spatialities of transnational resistance to globalization: the maps of grievance of the Inter‐Continental Caravan

This paper explores the spatialities constructed through resistances to globalization. It focuses on the Inter‐Continental Caravan, an ambitious project which united activists from the Indian New Farmers Movements with West European green activists in contesting neo‐liberal institutions and biotechnology. The paper argues that these political activities constructed distinctive ‘maps of grievance’. This term is used to suggest that the construction of grievances has both a distinctive spatiality and is constitutive of political identities. The paper argues that the different maps of grievances generated through the project were both a condition of possibility for these transnational alliances and exerted pressure on the formation of solidarities. It concludes by arguing that the location of counter‐globalization politics at the intersection of different routes of resistance can be integral to the formation of alternative political imaginaries.
