Abstract:"Over the last few decades, we have witnessed increasing incidents of collective action. Collective action is a matter of demand by citizens who are aggrieved, supply by protest organizations/individuals, and mobilization through effective communication networks. This volume elaborates on the processes and mechanisms responsible for these dynamics"--
Protest is typically rare behavior, yet the ïrst decade of the twenty-ïrst century has been named the era of protest. Successful protests bring masses to the streets, and the emergence of social media has fundamentally changed the process of mobilization. What protests need to be successful is demand (grievances, anger, and indignation), supply (protest organizations), and mobilization (eïective communication networks). Motivation to participate can be instrumental, expressive, and identity driven, and politicized collective identity plays an important role in the dynamics of collective action. This volume brings together insights from social psychology, political psychology, sociology, and political science to provide a comprehensive and up-to-date analysis of protest participation, particularly to the question of why some people protest while others do not. It is essential reading for scholars interested in the social and political psychology of individuals in action
