Abstract
This essay discusses different approaches to studying transnational activism in historical perspective. In doing so, it concludes a review dossier in which several historians have commented on aspects of Daniel Laqua's book Activism across Borders since 1870: Causes, Campaigns and Conflicts in and beyond Europe (London, 2023). The author responds to the preceding pieces by addressing the contributors’ questions and arguments, while also noting how their pieces have applied his book's framework to different causes (e.g. anarchism, feminism, human rights, humanitarianism, labour). Moreover, this essay raises several wider points regarding the subject under consideration. For example, it stresses that activists’ notions regarding the interconnectedness of different causes could generate fresh ruptures. The discussion highlights the amorphous nature of transnational activism, including its potential use by vastly different movements, and it situates the book within a broader, and developing, research agenda.
本文讨论了从历史角度研究跨国激进主义的不同方法。在这篇文章中，几位历史学家对丹尼尔-拉夸（Daniel Laqua）的著作《1870 年以来的跨国激进主义》（Activism across Borders since 1870：原因、运动和冲突》（伦敦，2023 年）一书的一些方面发表了评论。作者回应了前几篇文章，讨论了撰稿人的问题和论点，同时也指出了他们的文章是如何将本书的框架应用于不同的事业（如无政府主义、女权主义、人权、人道主义、劳工）的。此外，这篇文章还就所讨论的主题提出了几个更广泛的观点。例如，文章强调，活动家关于不同事业之间相互联系的观念可能会产生新的裂痕。讨论强调了跨国激进主义的无定形性质，包括其可能被各种不同的运动所利用，并将本书置于一个更广泛且不断发展的研究议程中。
