ISBN: 9780521029797 / Angielski / Miękka / 2006 / 292 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. This book presents empirical research on the nature and structure of political violence.

Through extensive use of official documents and in-depth interviews, della Porta is able to explain the actors' construction of external political reality, and to build a theory on political violence that synthesizes the various interactions among political actors.

ISBN: 9780199689323 / Angielski / Twarda / 2014 / 384 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Strangely enough, while the pictures used to illustrate the most recent wave of protests for democracy in North Africa represent mass protest, research on social movements and democratization have rarely interacted. This volume aims to fill this gap by looking at episodes of democratization through the lens of social movement studies. Without assuming that democratization is always produced from below, the author singles out different paths of democratization by looking at the ways in which the masses interact with the elites, and protest with bargaining: eventful democratization,...

'Meeting Democracy' presents empirical research that examines in detail how power is distributed and how consensus is reached in twelve global justice movement...
