Description

Social Movements: An Introduction to Collective Action in Contemporary Society This fully-revised and updated edition of Social Movements is the market-leading introductory text on collective action in contemporary society. Drawing from theory-driven, systematic empirical research across the social sciences, it offers critical analyses of relevant literature and explores important issues and debates in the field. The global political landscape has undergone significant changes since the book's initial publication, with new social movements emerging against austerity from around the world. This edition provides fresh discussions of these recent developments, as well as new empirical examples and references to recent episodes of contention. With an expanded comparative approach to social movement theory in the scientific literature, this text offers a comprehensive introduction to the subject. Suitable for students and scholars of sociology and related disciplines, Social Movements is a sophisticated yet reader-friendly textbook that provides a thorough understanding of collective action in contemporary society.
