As the world experiences social unrest, polarization, and faces
complex challenges, citizens are taking to the squares and streets
to demand change. From climate change protests to far-right
extremism, social movements are mobilizing around the key social
and political issues of our times. In this extensively revised and
updated book, the author offers a cutting-edge and original
analysis to generate new insights into 21st Century social
movements in a globalized world. Written in clear and accessible
language, this book will appeal to both students new to the field
and established scholars. Drawing on a wealth of examples from
around the world, from Anonymous and Occupy Wall Street to
Wikileaks, the Tea Party, and the Zapatistas, it develops a
compelling framework with which to understand the important role
movements play in contemporary politics. This expanded and revised
second edition includes a comprehensive overview of social movement
theory, a new chapter on "Movements on the Right", a wider
discussion of Information and Communication Technologies and Media
- including new sections on "hacktivism" and "leaktivism" -and
up-to-date case studies and references.
