Description
Abstract Feminist transnational organizing produces complex and conflictual relationships. In particular, global conferences are often a place for women to discover their differences. Studying the conflicts that arise during women's transnational collaboration and how participants negotiate those conflicts helps to illuminate how women from diverse locations develop the relationships and, thus, the social infrastructures necessary for network building. My qualitative study of a budding women's peace network at the 4th UN World Conference on Women revealed that the NGOs used a dialogic process to address the deep-rooted conflicts triggered by unequal access to network agenda-setting. This dialogic process created a desire for the NGO representatives to work together despite on-going conflicts and facilitated relationships in which future conflicts could be negotiated constructively.
