This book summarises and critiques Extinction Rebellion (XR) as a
social movement organisation, engaging with key issues surrounding
its analysis, strategy and tactics. The authors suggest that XR
have an underdeveloped and apolitical view of the kind of change
necessary to address climate change, and that while this enables
the building of broad movements, it is also an obstacle to
achieving the systemic change that they are aiming for. The book
analyses different forms of protest and the role of civil
disobedience in their respective success or failure; democratic
demands and practices; and activist engagement with the political
economy of climate change. It engages with a range of theoretical
perspectives that address law-breaking in protest and participatory
forms of democracy including liberal political theory; anarchism
and forms of historical materialism, and will be of interest to
students and scholars across politics, international relations,
sociology, policy studies and geography, as well as those
interested in climate change politics and activism.
