Description
Most books on social movements treat them as special episodes, apart from normal politics. This book is about how social protest movements become involved with political parties and elections. It reveals how movements really are a "normal" part of modern politics, shaping parties and elections.Everyone wanting to know how political parties and social movements actually operate should read this book.
Reviews"...masterful...successfully pushes the boundaries of existing thinking about conventional versus unconventional politics." Political Science Quarterly "All the contributions are valuable and interesting...Contributors have produced well crafted and richly documented essays, which all improve our understanding of important dimensions of political contention. They successfully remind us of the inadequacy of conventional distinctions between supposedly different forms of politics." American Journal of Sociology
