Bringing together celebrated scholars from diverse traditions and backgrounds, The Politics of Social Protest focuses on the reciprocal relationships among social movements, states, and political parties. The volume is organized around three key questions: Why do citizens resort to the often risky and demanding strategy of using disruptive protest when other channels of political intervention appear to be available? What is the relationship between social protest movements and systems of political representation? And what is the impact of the structure and development of the state on social movements themselves? "The Politics of Social Protest should be consulted by social movement researchers and political sociologists, not to mention (renegade) political scientists who take seriously the idea that protest is one form of political action among many.The studies compiled by Jenkins and Klandermans are quite effective at arguing that a society's protest potential is established by broad-based political arrangements and can best be examined through a comparative lens." _Contemporary Sociology Contributors include Ronald Aminzade, Paul Burstein, Russell J.
