      abstract = {Social movements have shaped and are shaping modern  societies around the globe; this is evident when we look at  examples such as the Arab Spring, Spain's Indignados and  the wider Occupy movement. In this volume, experts analyse  the 'classic' and new social movements from a uniquely  global perspective and offer insights in current  theoretical discussions on social mobilisation. Chapters  are devoted both to the study of continental developments  of social movements going back to the nineteenth century  and ranging to the present day, and to an emphasis on the  transnational dimension of these movements.  Interdisciplinary and truly international, this book is an  essential text on social movements for historians,  political scientists, sociologists, philosophers and social  scientists.},
