With wide coverage of the developing world, leading academics explore a variety of forms and mechanisms of social movement.

Presenting novel analytical frameworks to study social movements in developing countries, this book will be warmly welcomed by academics and researchers with an interest in sociology, development and political science. It will also strongly appeal to social movement activists.
