Description
"Popular Protests and Protest Event Analysis in Latin America . . . has the potential to rapidly become a reference point for the discipline. It applies the methodology of protest event analysis to successfully cover a daunting amount of ground. After a technical and theoretical introduction, the book is divided into two macro-sections, where the first focuses on longitudinally tracing the national evolution of protests for a series of countries and the second casts a narrower gaze at the process of specific protest cycles. Wonderfully cohesive for an edited volume, it gathers evidence from a multitude of sources and analyzes it under a unitary methodological umbrella."-- "Latin American Politics and Society" "A must-read for scholars of Latin America, social movements, and protest and for anyone interested in understanding how democracy and globalization have affected popular movements in Latin America."--Carew Boulding, author of NGOs, Political Protest, and Civil Society
