Research in Social Movements, Conflicts and Change cover

Research in Social Movements, Conflicts and Change has now published continuously for over 40 years, and this volume continues its tradition of delivering data-driven and multi-method research by scholars who constantly push theory forward. 
Covering a compelling range of subjects, this important collection begins by addressing the critically important dimensions of the relationships that social movements, their activists, and their organizations have with the state and other institutions. It then moves on to examine three movements linked by frame and discourse analysis, before concluding with a survey of the biographical trajectory of activism. The contributions focus on a number of topical and crucially important issues, including, among others: environmental activism in China, the Black Lives Matter movement, the 2011 uprising in Tunisia, and Russian opposition movements.  
With a strong contributor team and a confident style, this volume is a significant addition to the RSMCC series and will be of great interest to those working and researching within the social movement field.

Social scientists explore social movements and their institutional relations, frames and discourses in conflicts and social movements, and activist start-up and withdrawal. Their topics include allies in action: institutional actors and grassroots environmental activism in China, building solidarity across asymmetrical risks: Israeli and Palestinian peace activists, Black Lives Matter: (re)framing the next wave of Black liberation, challenging everyday violence of the state: developing sustained opposition movements through anti-corruption protests, and late bloomers: differential participation among first-time mid-life protesters. -- Annotation ©2018 * (protoview.com) *
