Abstract
Defending critiques that his work focuses too much on the role of institutions in setting social policy, as opposed to social movements or local non-state actors, Bob Deacon (2007: 190) comments that he has examined what social movements ‘have to say about specific social policies’ and ‘found them wanting in terms of specific national and transnational social policies’. His own approach, he argues, is to be ‘multi-actor, multi-sited, and multi-levelled’. He sees a role in the combined efforts of Northern country governments, international global policy supporters (‘working in and between the spaces of often frozen institutions’ (2007: 190)), and South-South dialogs.
