Blurb

An updated, cutting-edge and original analysis of the different ways in which social movements respond to the process of globalisation. Drawing on cases as diverse as the Hong Kong Umbrella Movement and 15-M/Indignados, to Greece’s Golden Dawn and America’s Tea Party, this textbook outlines why contemporary social movements cannot be fully understood without taking globalisation into account.
