“…The United Nations Association-USA's Adopt a Minefield Program helped members of the public connect on a personal level to the issue by giving them the opportunity to "adopt" a particular area containing landmines, learn more about the individuals and communities affected, and raise funds to remove the mines (Warkentin and Mingst 2000).…”

“…Social justice activists had demonstrated in the 1990s that they could sometimes persuade elites to be more judicious in their acts of destruction and violence (Finnemore 1996;Klotz 1996;Ron 2003;Warkentin and Mingst 2000).

“…A more recent example of an effective 'defence' was the 1997 campaign against the Multilateral Agreement on Investment (MAI) proposed by the OECD in order to protect foreign investments, or the WTO summit at Seattle in December 1999.

In the case of the Seattle meeting, the conference, although strongly hampered by nongovernmental protests, was (contrary to a widespread perception) eventually suspended due to members' inability to reach consensus in some key areas and to launch a new trade round.…”
