The Troubles in Northern Ireland and Theories of Social Movements (Hardcover)

This volume focuses on a number of research questions, drawn from social movement scholarship: How does nonviolent mobilization emerge and persist in deeply divided societies? What are the trajectories of participation in violent groups in these societies? What is the relationship between overt mobilization, clandestine operations and protests among political prisoners? What is the role of media coverage and identity politics? Can there be non-sectarian collective mobilization in deeply divided societies? The answers to these questions do not merely try to explain contentious politics in Northern Ireland; instead, they inform future research on social movements beyond this case.You may also like Contributions to the Study of Music and Music of the Repressed Russian Avant-Garde, 1900-1929, Book 31, (Hardcover).
