The study of law and social movements presents a unique opportunity to reexamine fundamental questions about the interplay between law and power. This comprehensive Research Handbook takes up that challenge, presenting a phase of social movement studies that is more global, dynamic, reflexive, and contextualized.
Featuring contributions from scholars from around the world and across various disciplines, the chapters in this Handbook explore a wide range of topics, including democratic and authoritarian rule, social movement strategies, identities, social positions, and the complex relationship between narratives and power.
Rather than simply asking why movements succeed or fail, this Handbook goes beyond to examine how law and movements become vehicles for either entrenching or resisting power. It calls for innovative approaches to law and social movements scholarship and provides an extensive array of case studies on the subject, addressing questions of governmental regimes, power, and social change.
This interdisciplinary Research Handbook is of immense value to sociologists, political scientists, and other sociolegal scholars interested in global perspectives on social movements, democracy, and authoritarianism. It will also be of interest to policymakers, activists, and legal professionals seeking to understand the dynamics of power and its implications for social justice and change.
