Summary:

"Around the world, popular social movements are challenging the status quo. Yet most democracies are seeing a decline in voter turnout. Protest and Politics examines the shift in political participation, as well as the blurring of social movements and mainstream politics, through the lens of the social movement society thesis. Analyzing historical and contemporary social movements in Canada, in comparison to those in the US and in the transitional sphere, the authors argue that our understanding of the boundaries between politics and protest needs to evolve"-- Provided by publisher.
