Transnational Activism in World Politics and Effectiveness of a Loosely Organised Principled Global Network: The Case of the NGO Coalition for an International Criminal Court

Abstract

The article discusses the role of the NGO Coalition for an ICC, a loosely organized principled network established to promote a fair, independent and strong permanent international criminal court, in the creation of the world's first permanent judicial institution vested with the authority to deal with the worst crimes. The study further identifies the basic features of the Coalition and assesses its impact on world politics and its implications for global governance.
