This outstanding Handbook establishes the relationship between
political citizenship and social movements as an area of study. As
an in-depth and well-conceived source for beginners, experienced
scholars and students alike, it provides theoretically rich,
methodologically diverse, and empirically wide-ranging chapters on
political struggles over citizenship. Moreover, the bridging
between sociological and political theories of movements and
citizenship reveals both in a different light.' - Engin Isin, The
Open UniversitySince the 1960s, social movements and political
citizenship have become buzzwords not only in social and political
life but also in social and political science. The impact of the
environmental and women's movements, and the advance of
multicultural, European and cosmopolitan citizenship in modern
history are cases in point. The study of citizenship traditionally
refers to the individual dimension of social and political
behavior. Social movement studies, however, refer to the collective
dimension of such behavior. Despite distinct trajectories in their
theoretical development, the social movement and citizenship
paradigms converge where social movements are viewed as collective
forms of political citizenship. This Handbook uniquely collates
results of several decades of academic research in these two
fields. The expert contributions successively address the different
forms of political citizenship and current approaches and recent
developments in social movement studies. Salient social movements
in recent history are explored in depth, covering the
environmental, women's, international human rights, urban, Tea
Party, and animal rights movements. Social movements and political
citizenship in the global South : China, India, Africa, and the
Arab World, are discussed, presenting a novel empirical insight
into these fields of study. Social scientists, MA and PhD students
conducting research in social movements and citizenship, at a
theoretical and empirical level, will benefit from the
authoritative assessment of forms of political citizenship and
major developments in social movement studies. Contributors: E.
