Protest, Social Movements, and Global Democracy since 2011 by Thomas Davies

In light of the limited achievements of the Arab Spring and other pro-democracy movements, volume 39 examines and unpacks arguments that these protests represent both a new phase and new prospects for democratic mobilization. The volume engages with new theoretical and methodological perspectives and illuminates novel aspects of transnational social movement dynamics, such as the evolving role of information technology, deterritorialisation and government counter-responses.
Political science and other researchers from Europe, Australia, Chile, and the US present 10 essays on protest, social movements, and global democracy since 2011After a review of key events and dimensions of these protests, essays address anti-austerity protests, Occupy Wall Street, the Bulgarian Summer 2013 movement, opposition to mining in Armenia, the Lyon-Turin Railway and No TAV movement in Italy, the student movement in Chile, religion and political activism in post-revolutionary Tunisia, Turkish media representation of the Gezi Park protests, and Bahrain's uprising. -- Annotation * (protoview.com) *
