Ålund, Aleksandra Schierup, Carl-Ulrik global governance migration civic activism bic Book Industry Communication::J Society & social sciences::JF Society & culture: general::JFF Social issues & processes::JFFN Migration, immigration & emigration This article discusses dilemmas of global civic activism from a neo-Gramscian perspective as both subordinated and a potential challenge to hegemonic neoliberal order. With the investigational focus on the People’s Global Action on Migration, Development and Human Rights (PGA) event, the space for civic activism relating to the intergovernmental Global Forum on Migration and Development (GFMD) and its associated Civil Society Days and Common Space is analysed. The article asks how the future of PGA activism may be influenced by its formalized representation within the GFMD. It posits that the PGA has landed at a crossroad between becoming a global activist counterhegemonic movement to a dominant neoliberal migration policy and being captured in a tokenist subordinated inclusion within a truncated ‘invited space’ for interchange. This ambiguous position jeopardizes its impact on global migration governance, discussed with reference to theories of transversal politics and issues of counterhegemonic alliance-building. 2019-10-17 14:26:13 2020-04-01T10:27:50Z 2020-04-01T10:27:50Z 2019 chapter 1004956 OCN: 1135847968 http://library.oapen.org/handle/20.500.12657/25137 eng Rethinking Globalizations application/pdf n/a 9780367147266_oachapter6.pdf Taylor & Francis Migration, Civil Society and Global Governance Routledge 7b3c7b10-5b1e-40b3-860e-c6dd5197f0bb f1d77378-0abe-4d82-82e1-323149659af0 Routledge 16 open access
