Protest has proliferated in the early part of the twenty-first
century, forcing change in political systems and challenging
established patterns of behaviour. The factors driving these
protests range from religion and inequality through to the
effectiveness of the state and its role in protecting the rights of
citizens. The growth in discontent represented by these protests
potentially threatens the stability of the state by raising
questions about the right of governments to govern. Anger and
frustration embodied in many of these actions has resulted in the
growth of support for populist political actors promising
simplified solutions to the complex underlying issues. In this way,
the inability of the state to address the claims of its population
potentially places its continued viability at risk. The cases in
this collection examine a range of protest movements from around
the world, in both democratic and authoritarian political systems,
to provide an overview of contemporary issues and protest forms.
Addressing contemporary protest in this manner is an important task
in supporting our understanding of the root causes of the current
tensions and their possible future effects. This book is a
compilation of articles from a special issue of Contemporary Social
Science with additional papers selected from Contemporary Politics,
Journal of Contemporary China and Democratization.
