The politics of Social Protest: Comparative Perspectives on States and Social Movements
The book The Politics of Social Protest: Comparative Perspectives on States and Social Movements offers an in-depth examination of the complex interactions between social movements and state structures across different political contexts. It explores how political opportunity, state capacity, and cultural framing shape the emergence, strategies, and outcomes of collective action. By bringing together comparative case studies from various regions, the authors analyze the conditions under which social protests succeed, transform, or are repressed. The book integrates multiple theoretical approaches—ranging from resource mobilization and political process theory to cultural and identity-based perspectives—to explain how social movements challenge, negotiate with, or adapt to state power. Through its comparative framework, it reveals patterns of contention that highlight both the universality and specificity of protest politics. This work serves as a foundational reference for scholars and students of political sociology, social movement studies, and comparative politics.
