Produktbeschreibung

This volume of cutting-edge research brings together internationally recognized experts in the field of protest studies and contentious politics to analyse the causes and trajectories of violence as a protest tactic. Cross-national comparisons from North America, Britain, France, Germany, Greece, Iran, Thailand, and elsewhere contribute to the volume's theoretical elaboration, while several case studies add depth to the discussion. This title is of key importance to scholars across the social sciences, including sociology, political science, geography and criminology and is a significant contribution to the study of rioting and violent protest in the contemporary neoliberal states.
