In recent decades social movements in the Global South have built stronger networks than intellectuals in order to analyse new global socio-political scenarios and act collectively. Based on ten years of research on the reconfiguration of contemporary internationalism, this paper aims to analyse some trends, developments and contradictions of transnational networks and spaces of convergence constructed by (and between) social movements in Latina America Africa and Asia during the last two decades. One of the main objectives is to highlight how these spaces can open an important arena for future construction of agendas and South-South intellectual projects.
