“…Going beyond Heins, I would argue that the transnationalization of advocacy means that these frames become even more schematic because they must be transported across global spaces, leading to a bifurcation at the domestic level between 'rigid' global frames adhered to by professional advocates and more flexible, politically fluid conceptualizations coming from mass member organizations. Unlike more optimistic social movement theorists (for example Reitan 2007;and Smith 2008) I would argue that this bifurcation may preclude the formation of 'democratically' forged global movement frames, especially in cases where the social field over which a TAN operates is simply too differentiated and involves too wide a gap in financial and educational capital.…”

“…While the Zapatistas' prominence may put them in a better position than lesser-known Southern groups, their refusal of some Northern funds may still jeopardize their survival, marking the limits of Southern autonomy. 5 Extreme cases like the Zapatistas, along with a handful of similar examples in which Southern groups have defied the power of Northern donations, such as the farmers' network Via Campesina, the Peoples' Global Alliance, and the Rural Women Workers' Movement (MMTR) in Brazil (e.g., Thayer 2001;Wood 2004;Reitan 2007), help illustrate the limits and possibilities for Southern movements to influence Northern allies.…”
