When the militarys ruling party violently quashed Burmas prodemocracy movement, diplomatic condemnation quickly followedto little effect. But when Burmas activists began linking the movement to others around the world, the result was dramatically different. This book is the first to explain how Burmas prodemocracy movement became a transnational social movement for human rights.Through the experience of the Free Burma movement, John G. Dale demonstrates how social movements create and appropriate legal mechanisms for generating new transnational political opportunities. He presents three corporate accountability campaigns waged by the Free Burma movement. The cases focus on the legislation of Free Burma laws in local governments throughout the United States; the effort to force the state of California to decharter Unocal Oil Corporation for its flagrant abuse of human rights; and the firstever use of the U.S. Alien Tort Claims Act to sue a corporation in a U.S. court for human rights abuses committed abroad. Dales work also raises the issue of how foreign policies of socalled constructive engagement actually pose a threat to the hope of Burmas activistsand others worldwidefor more democratic economic development.
