| Publisher Description: Recent years have seen a new development in the growth and spread of popular protest: protests that began as local, homogeneous events--such as Occupy Wall Street or the protests of the Arab Spring--quickly left their original locations, and local specificity, behind and became global. This book looks at the development of this wave of protests, with a specific eye on protests against austerity and neoliberal economic policies, and offers a global view, covering events in Turkey, Brazil, Venezuela, South Africa, Bosnia, Bulgaria, Ukraine, and other locations. |
