Recent years have seen a new development in the growth and spread
of popular protest: protests that began as local, homogeneous
events-such as Occupy Wall Street or the protests of the Arab
Spring-quickly left their original locations and local specificity
behind and became global. This book looks at the development of
this wave of protests, with an eye on protests against austerity
and neoliberal economic policies, and offers a global view,
covering events in Turkey, Brazil, Venezuela, South Africa, Bosnia,
Bulgaria, Ukraine, and other locations.
In this important book, Jan Willem Duyvendak and James M. Jasper
bring together an internationally acclaimed group of contributors
to demonstrate the complexities of the social and political spheres
in various areas of public policy. By breaking down the state into
the players who really make decisions and pursue coherent
strategies, these essays provide new perspectives on the
interactions between political protestors and the many parts of the
state"from courts, political parties, and legislators to police,
armies, and intelligence services. By analyzing politics as the
interplay of various players within structured arenas, Breaking
Down the State provides an innovative look at law and order versus
opposition movements in countries across the globe.
