Opis

As the world approaches the year 2000, many societies are experiencing an unprecedented growth in millenarian movements that anticipate an imminent and total transformation of the world. Many of these movements have been assoicated with violence, either as a means for producing change or as a response to confrontations with state authority. Drawing together research from political science, psychology, sociology and history this work attempts to understand the relationship between millenarian movements and episodes of violence.
