This volume examines the transformation of politics and social movements
at various levels. Starting with a transformation of identity within
social movements, it goes on to discuss changes in the scale of social
movement mobilisation. The impact of social movements on the state is
also considered, with a particular focus upon the ways in which the
state is able to incorporate apparently radical political agendas.
Finally, the book examines those intellectual and theoretical debates
stimulated by recent political transformations.
