Abstract
In Friends of the Earth International’s (FoEI’s) 2004 Annual Report, Meena Raman of Friends of the Earth (FoE) Malaysia — newly elected as Chairperson of FoEI — described the federation as having ‘emerged from a testy period of internal tensions in the previous year with a commitment to resolving conflicts and managing our diversity’ (FoEI Annual Report 2004: 3). References to the virtues of political diversity are common in FoEI’s discourse, they are an established element of its tradition; however, the conflict of 2002–2003 had raised fundamental questions about the viability of this celebration of diversity. If ‘diversity’ really means fundamental disagreement, then it is impossible to imagine how a transnational network can develop or progress.
