It examines the institutions, campaigns and ideological frameworks that defined the globalization of anti-apartheid, the ways in which the concept of solidarity was mediated by individuals, organizations and states, and considers the multiplicity of actors and interactions involved in generating and sustaining anti-apartheid around the world. It includes detailed accounts of key case studies from Europe, Asia, and Latin America, which illustrate the complex relationships between local and global agendas, as well as the diverse political cultures embodied in anti-apartheid. Taken together, these examples reveal the tensions and synergies, transnational webs and local contingencies that helped to create the sense of \u2018being global\u2019 that united worldwide anti-apartheid campaigns. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"color:#ffffff\" class=\"has-text-color wp-block-paragraph\">&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8211;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&gt;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.palgrave.com\/gp\/book\/9783030036515#aboutAuthors\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"More information (opens in a new tab)\">More information<\/a>  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Anna Konieczna<\/strong> is a teaching fellow at <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"http:\/\/www.sciencespo.fr\/\" target=\"_blank\">Sciences Po<\/a>, France.
