Reviews

""Taking us on a fascinating journey through more than thirty years of social movement mobilization, Protesting Culture and Economics in Western Europe offers the first systematic attempt to link the study of the movements of the left and right in Europe since the 1970s with party system dynamics. Building on a unique set of data that allows for the comparison of different issues across the electoral and protest arenas, this study not only contributes to our understanding of ‘who is organized into politics by whom,’ it also provides some definite answers to controversial questions surrounding social movements in the ‘age of globalization,’ and shows how much we gain by focusing on the interplay between electoral and protest politics."" -Simon Bornschier, University of Zurich ""This is very relevant work that addresses a broad array of issues in social movement studies. The data are impressive and innovative, comparative across six countries and several decades, and Swen Hutter’s analyses are strong, original, and straightforward."" -Stefaan Walgrave, University of Antwerp ""A thought-provoking, theoretically rich study.""-CHOICE ""This refined and empiracilly grounded study ultimately aims to inspire scholars to address challenging economic, political, and cultural issues in the era of globalization. . . The author transcends previous related research.""-Social Forces ""Protesting Culture and Economics in Western Europe is an impressive piece of research which opens exciting venues for future research in a rapidly changing West European landscape.""-West European Politics ""The book should be commended for making an ambitious effort to integrate multiple data sources to understand how the politics of Western Europe have been shifting.""-Mobilization ""Protesting Culture and Economics in Western Europe is highly successful in building a common ground for social movements and electoral politics while at the same time making a compelling study of the changing structures of cleavages in Western Europe.""-Contemporary Sociology

This is very relevant work that addresses a broad array of issues in social movement studies. The data are impressive and innovative, comparative across six countries and several decades, and Swen Hutter's analyses are strong, original, and straightforward. --Stefaan Walgrave, University of Antwerp
