Social Movements by Anthony Oberschall

Description

More than any other topic in social science, the study of social movements provides an opportunity to combine social theory with political action. Such study is a key to understanding the motivations, successes, and failures of thousands who aspire to high ideals of justice, but who sometimes aid in perpetuating inhumane political acts and systems.

Building upon the past twenty years’ developments in theory and research, Social Movements combines original theoretical and methodological approaches with penetrating analyses of contemporary movements from the sixties to the nineties. Anthony Oberschall argues that social movements are central to contemporary politics in both Western and Third World nations.
