Social Movement Studies in Europe - The State of the Art (Paperback): Olivier Fillieule, Guya Accornero Social Movement Studies in Europe - The State of the Art (Paperback)
Olivier Fillieule, Guya Accornero
R974 Discovery Miles 9 740 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

Bringing together over forty established and emerging scholars, this landmark volume is the first to comprehensively examine the evolution and current practice of social movement studies in a specifically European context. While its first half offers comparative approaches to an array of significant issues and movements, its second half assembles focused national studies that include most major European states. Throughout, these contributions are guided by a shared set of historical and social-scientific questions with a particular emphasis on political sociology, thus offering a bold and uncommonly unified survey that will be essential for scholars and students of European social movements.

Activists Forever? - Long-Term Impacts of Political Activism (Paperback): Olivier Fillieule Activists Forever? - Long-Term Impacts of Political Activism (Paperback)
Olivier Fillieule; Erik Neveu
R1,114 Discovery Miles 11 140 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

Activists Forever? explores the consequences of political involvement on an individual's life. While much of the research in this area has focused on the motivations of entire protests groups, the editors of this volume propose an approach that focuses on actors. This book examines political involvement's socio-biographical effects, or the ways in which political commitment generates or modifies dispositions to act, think, and perceive, in a way that is either consistent with or in contrast to the results of previous socialization. The contents explore what political involvement leads to rather than what causes involvement. Using a variety of case studies, this collection of essays provides global coverage with a focus on participation in major protests in the 1960s and significantly broadens our understanding by looking outside the United States. These essays look at the lasting effects of activists' knowledge, connections, and symbolic capital on their future participation in politics, as well as their personal and professional lives.

Political Altruism? - Solidarity Movements in International Perspective (Paperback): Marco Giugni, Florence Passy Political Altruism? - Solidarity Movements in International Perspective (Paperback)
Marco Giugni, Florence Passy; Contributions by Simone Baglioni, Ivana Eterovic, Olivier Fillieule, …
R1,322 Discovery Miles 13 220 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

Political Altruism? deals with participation in political activities aimed at defending the rights of other individuals and groups, such as asylum seekers, immigrant workers, populations of Third World countries, and people whose fundamental human rights are being harmed. Solidarity movements have become an important collective actor in contemporary western societies, yet virtually no scholarly work up to now has addressed them theoretically and empirically. This volume shows why political altruism is better seen as the result of social interactions rather than of a supposedly altruistic outburst. Contributors address the theoretical questions at the core of social movement theory, using country-specific studies including France, Germany, Great Britain, Switzerland, and the US, while also examining the growing internationalization of solidarity movements, their outcomes and consequences.

Acts of Dissent - New Developments in the Study of Protest (Hardcover): Dieter Rucht, Ruud Koopmans, Friedhelm Niedhardt Acts of Dissent - New Developments in the Study of Protest (Hardcover)
Dieter Rucht, Ruud Koopmans, Friedhelm Niedhardt; Contributions by Mark R. Beissinger, Louis J. Crishock, …
R3,157 Discovery Miles 31 570 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

Although living conditions have improved throughout history, protest, at least in the last few decades, seems to have increased to the point of becoming a normal phenomenon in modern societies. Contributors to this volume examine how and why this is the case and argue that although problems such as poverty, hunger, and violations of democratic rights may have been reduced in advanced Western societies, a variety of other problems and opportunities have emerged and multiplied the reasons and possibilities for protest. Acts of Dissent: New Developments in the Study of Protest examines some of those problems, progressing from methodological issues, to discussions of the part that the mass media plays in protest, finally to several case studies of protests in different contexts.

Demonstrations (Paperback): Danielle Tartakowsky, Olivier Fillieule Demonstrations (Paperback)
Danielle Tartakowsky, Olivier Fillieule
R413 Discovery Miles 4 130 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

Demonstrations are without a doubt the most common form of political expression, more so in democratic nations - where its legitimacy competes, relatively happily, with more conventional forms of participation such as the vote - than in non-democratic countries, where demonstration accompanies attempts to revolt and overthrow.In this book, which includes updated information from the original French version, the authors offer a sociological and historical analysis of this political mode of action, with its norms and rules, its myths and legends, its glorious episodes and its darkest hours. But most of all, beyond a classic interrogation on the place of demonstration in the repertoire of contemporary action and political struggle, Demonstrations is also an analysis of the demonstrators themselves, providing us with insight into their passions and convictions.
