| Summary/Abstract |
During 1935, a transnational social movement coalesced to protest the Italian Fascist régime’s escalating threats to invade Ethiopia. Although the global antiwar movement failed to prevent war, it did, day by day through diffuse acts, transform the dynamics of global politics. Using a repertoire of informal political practices, including mass meetings, street fights, riots, and strikes, the movement enabled common people to directly assert themselves on a question of international affairs. This article makes the case for recognizing the Hands Off Ethiopia campaign as a critical turning point in the making of a twentieth-century global left, with effects on international history that continued into World War II and lasted through the postwar era of decolonization. Conceptually, “Local People’s Global Politics” recommends that transnational history attend to the flow of ideas and power between spatial scopes such as the local and the global.

| Summary/Abstract |
Industry in the twenty-first century advances to ever-remoter regions, seen as ‘periphery’ from the point of view of headquarters and capital cities, while for local people these areas are the core of their world. This article investigates the encounter between communities, regulatory authorities and industry in the Russian Arctic. Using cases from Sakha (Yakutiya), we analyse how communities organise for coexistence of traditional livelihoods with big industrial projects in what we call state-led resource development. Our analysis shows the surprising room for agency that development agendas in a centralised state nonetheless leave for local people so far.
