Part III examines the challenges social movements face in integrating diverse identities and overcoming hierarchies rooted in capitalist logic, highlighting issues such as gendered geographies, faith-based activism, and NGOization. It emphasizes the paradoxical effects of engagement with inter-state institutions like the UN, which have both facilitated global networking and exposed limitations in overcoming exclusionary dynamics. The chapter underscores a growing strategic maturity in movements, fostering new global spaces that nurture counter-hegemonic dialogues and elevate marginalized actors such as indigenous peoples, women, and peasants to central roles in antisystemic struggles.
