Over the past decade, there has been an unprecedented mobilization
of street protests worldwide, from the demonstrations that helped
bring progressive governments to power in Latin America, to the
Arab Spring, to Occupy movements in the United States and Europe,
to democracy protests in China. This edited volume investigates the
current status, nature and dynamics of the new politics that
characterizes social movements from around the world that are part
of this revolutionary wave. Spanning case studies from Latin
America, North and South Africa, the Middle East, Asia, Europe, and
North America, this volume examines the varied manifestations of
the current cycle of protest, which emerged from the Global South
and spread to the North and highlights their interconnections - the
globalized nature of these social movements. Analytically
converging around Sidney Tarrow's emphasis on protest cycles,
political opportunity structures and identity, the individual
chapters investigate processes such as global framing,
internationalization, diffusion, scale shifts, externalizations and
transnational coalition building to provide an analytic cartography
of the current state of social movements as they are simultaneously
globalizing while still being embedded in their respective
localities. Looking at new ways of thinking and new forms of
challenging power, this comprehensive volume will be of great
interest to graduates and scholars in the fields of globalization,
social movements and international politics.
