Reviews

Political scientists, sociologists, and criminologists analyze the dynamics relevant to understanding the roles and evolution of non-state actors in a range of settings. They begin by looking at the interplay between non-state actors and between them and the state, emphasizing how these actors navigate survival in repressive or conflict-ridden environments. Then they broaden their view to explore the dynamics of social movements and change more generally, looking at nonviolent contexts. Among the topics are killing the movement: how Islam became a rival of an ethnic movement in Turkey 1991-2002, oil ownership and domestic terrorism, and targeting culture: feminist legal activists and critical community tactics. -- Annotation (c)2017 Ringgold Inc. * (protoview.com) *
