In 2011, political protests sprang up across the world. In the
Middle East, Europe, Latin America, the United States unlikely
people sparked or led massive protest campaigns from the Arab
Spring to Occupy Wall Street. These protests were made up of
educated and precariously employed young people who challenged the
legitimacy of their political leaders, exposed a failure of
representation, and expressed their dissatisfaction with their
place in the aftermath of financial and economic crisis. This book
interrogates what impacts—if any—this global
protest cycle had on politics and policy and shows the sometimes
unintended ways it continues to influence contemporary political
dynamics throughout the world. Proposing a new framework of
analysis that calls attention to the content and claims of
protests, their global connections, and the responsiveness of
political institutions to protest demands, this is one of the few
books that not only asks how protest movements are formed but also
provides an in-depth examination of what protest movements can
accomplish. With contributions examining the political consequences
of protest, the roles of social media and the internet in protest
organization, left- and right-wing movements in the United States,
Chile's student movements, the Arab Uprisings, and much more this
collection is essential reading for all those interested in the
power of protest to shape our world.
