    • Theories of Political Protest and Social Movements : A Multidisciplinary Introduction, Critique, and Synthesis, Paperback by Opp, Karl-Dieter, ISBN 0415483891, ISBN-13 9780415483896, Brand New, Free shipping in the US

      Opp (U. of Leipzig, Germany, and U. of Washington) concentrates on current theoretical perspectives on political protest and social movements. Those perspectives include the theory of collective action, resource mobilization, political opportunity structure theory, identity and framing approaches, and the dynamics of contention approach. The author's intent is to provide an introduction to the frequently ill-defined or poorly-explained theories, assess their major strengths and weaknesses, and to show how the theories can be built into a single theoretical model or, as he describes it, the structural-cognitive model.
