520 |a This paper contributes to the literature on ‘transnational agrarian movements’ by drawing upon the ‘fishworkers’ movement’ in the 1960s in India’s Kerala state, and the subsequent role it played in the formation of national and transnational networks.Against the prevailing teleology of movement network organization from local to national to transnational, I suggest that transnational and transregional flows produce the local and national as spaces of action. Instead of an unproblematic inclusion of fishers’ movements into the general rubric of ‘transnational agrarian movements’, I argue that considering differences between agriculture and fishing, and within fishing, allows a better explanation of the potential and limits of solidarity within the transnational network of fishers’ movements. I show that transnation- ality is not only about solidarity between movements but also about engaging with ‘transnational regimes’, which provide resources for network formation as well as produce stresses within networks.
