Protest, Movements, and Dissent in the Social Sciences: A multidisciplinary perspective

Using a multidisciplinary approach, the book analyses key theoretical and methodological issues in social protest research, illustrated through the analysis of recent movements and political events around the globe, ranging from the 15M movement in Spain, to the 2011 Salford riots in the UK, to Pro-Palestinian activism in Jerusalem. The result of these contributions is a sophisticated and multifaceted collection that enriches our understanding of why, when, and how groups of people decide to act collectively in order to pursue political change. This book was originally published as a special issue of Contemporary Social Science.
