The book places social movements in the broader arena of contentious politics in relation to states, political parties, and other actors. Looking at examples from peasants and communists in 1960s Italy, to movements and politics in contemporary western polities, to the global justice movement in the new century, the book argues that contentious actors are neither outside of nor completely within politics, but rather they occupy the uncertain territory between total opposition and integration into the policy.
