Beskrivning
Social movements have an elusive power but one that is altogether real. From the French and American revolutions to the Arab Spring, and to ethnic and terrorist movements of today, contentious politics exercises a fleeting but powerful influence on politics, society and international relations. Covering key episodes up to the attack on the US Capitol in January 2021, leading scholar of politics and government Sidney Tarrow uses a number of recent, historical and comparative case studies to introduce his theory of social movements and political parties. The fourth edition of this classic study emphasizes the symbiotic relations between social movements and parties by focusing attention on the growing role of populism in Europe, Latin America, and the US; analyzes the role of social media as a mobilizing and aggregating force for social movements; highlights the relations between structural changes in the economy and new forms of contention; draws on new material on movements in the Global South and the relations between movements and democracy.

'Our wisest guide to social movements has done it again: produced the best book on the topic, now completely updated to encompass the Arab Spring, Black Lives Matter and so much more. Tarrow shows us how social movements have expanded their repertoires in the 21st century, the opportunities (and threats) posed by social media, and how social protests have interlinked with political parties, pushed countries to revolution, and sought to usher in democracy. Tarrow shows us not only how much the world has changed in the last decade, but how and why.' Jack A. Goldstone, Professor of Public Policy, George Mason University
