This new approach transcends the barriers which still often divide European and North American perspectives of social movements, and also those which divide recent approaches from the older ''collective behaviour'' approach. The result is a theoretical framework which is uniquely equipped for the demands of modern social movement analysis.
The clear and concise style of the text, as well as its neat summaries of key concepts and approaches, will make this book invaluable for undergraduate courses. It will also be an essential reference for researchers.
