Description

From Contention to Democracy addresses a crucial aspect of contemporary societies: the role of social movements for political and social change.

The volume gathers together essays written by prominent social theorists who have been asked to reflect on the relationship between movements and processes of social, political and cultural change. Three broad types of movement-change nexus are distinguished and discussed: incorporation, transformation, and democratization.

The chapters in this book all point to the place of social movements in relation to these three processes of change, while discussing the history and well-known events of social movements.

Individual occurrences such as the protest of French students in 1968 or Chilean shantytown dwellers are examined.

The final essay looks ahead, wondering: what is the future of social movements?
