This book analyzes social movements across a range of countries in
the non-Western world: Bosnia, Brazil, Egypt, India, Iran,
Palestine, Russia, Syria, Turkey and Ukraine in the period 2008 to
2016. The individual case studies investigate how political and
social goals are framed nationally and globally, and the types of
mobilization strategies used to pursue them. The studies also
assess how, in the age of transnationalism, the idea of
participatory democracy produces new collective-action frames and
mass-mobilization strategies. The book challenges the view that
most social movements unequivocally seek to achieve higher levels
of democratization. Instead, the authors argue that protesters
across different movements advocate more involved forms of citizen
participation, since passive representation through liberal
democratic institutions fails to address mass grievances and
demands for accountability in many countries.
