This book probes three issues about the linkage between political
protests and social change. First, why do individuals participate
in protest activities, including nonviolent movements and
revolutions? How do cultural beliefs, sociopolitical structures,
personal attitudes, motives and perceptions shape the decision to
participate? Second, why do participants choose certain tactics?
Protesters use different types of tactics: violent vs. nonviolent,
public vs. covert, organized vs. spontaneous and confrontation vs.
accommodation with other groups, political parties, and government
agencies. Most activists view a particular tactic as a useful means
to attain their policy demands. Third, what policy consequences
emerge from the activities of protest movements? The book explores
the impact of protests on social change and on the distribution of
political power, particularly greater access of subordinate groups
to government policymakers. A theory of political opportunities
helps explain these issues about the origins, activities, and
outcomes of protests.
