A critical research collection, written by inspiring social movements' scholars, comprises case studies from Tunisia, Spain, Greece, Iceland, Netherlands, the United Kingdom, the United States, Mexico, and Turkey. In about seven years and more (2008–2015) of the enduring global political-economic crisis and its repercussions, we are witnessing not only waves of social movement mobilizations but also a more mature, rich, and creative theoretical and empirical scholarship as offered by this book. -- Miri Gal-Ezer, Kinneret College Situating the recent wave of social movements within a broader, global, context marked by, among other things, the failures of the neoliberal world order, this collection of essays brings a much-needed comparative dimension to the analysis of 'contentious politics' in the twenty-first century. A valuable contribution to the growing field of social movement studies. -- Umut Ozkirimli, Center for Middle Eastern Studies, Lund University This book provides a very sophisticated and thoroughly insightful analysis of social mobilization at the beginning of the twenty-first century. It is an innovative and remarkably perceptive study of the significance and varieties of contemporary social mobilizations and their consequences. -- Bogdan Szajkowski, University of Exeter
