Europeanizing Contention by Pierre Monforte

What are the consequences of European integration on social movements? Who are the winners and the losers of Europe's organized civil society? This book explores the Europeanization of contention through an in-depth, comparative analysis of French and German pro-asylum movements since the end of the 1990s.

“The wealth of in-depth semi-structured interviews and documents constitute the rich empirical basis upon which the book’s convincing conclusions rest… Overall, this book will be of great interest to anyone working in the field of Europeanization of social movements and Europeanization processes in generalIt will also be of great benefit to scholars interested in asylum policies in Europe.” • H-France Review

“Conceptually strong, methodologically plausible, well engaged with the literature, very well written, and with conclusions limited to the evidence.” • Justin Greenwood, Robert Gordon University

“This book addresses a timely and under-researched topic…The empirical parts of the book present a large body of new information on social movement organizations in the two countries in a detailed and convincing manner.” • Barbara Laubenthal, University of Konstanz
