This edited volume advances our understanding of urban activism
beyond the social movement theorization dominated by thesis of
political opportunity structure and resource mobilization, as well
as by research based on experience from the global north. Covering
a diversity of urban actions from a broad range of countries in
both hemispheres as well as the global north and global south, this
unique collection notably focuses on non-institutionalised or
localised urban actions that have the potential to bring about
radical structural transformation of the urban system and also
addresses actions in authoritarian regimes that are too sensitive
to call themselves "movement". It addresses localized issues cut
off from international movements such as collective consumption
issues, like clean water, basic shelter, actions against
displacement or proper venues for street vendors, and argues that
the integration of the actions in cities in the global south with
the specificity of their local social and political environment is
as pivotal as their connection with global movement networks or
international NGOs. A key read for researchers and policy makers
cutting across the fields of urban sociology, political science,
public policy, geography, regional studies and housing studies,
this text provides an interdisciplinary and international
perspective on 21st century urban activism in the global north and
south.
