Reviews
'Della Porta's new edited book, the culmination of years of group effort, shows that there is no contradiction between collaborative research and thematic closure, or between culturally-inspired and empirically executed work. Democracy in Social Movements eloquently shows how, from many different sources and with different ideological origins, the Global Justice Movement has painstakingly developed a method of internal consensus- building and deliberative democracy as it faces the forces of neo-liberalism. This is a book well worth having in the library of all scholars of social movements and contentious politics.'
- Sidney Tarrow, Professor of Government and Sociology, Cornell University, USA
'This is an excellent book on an under-researched but very important theme, and it explores this theme in the context of the major social movement of our day. Della Porta has done a wonderful job in pulling together a collection...which tackles the issue of 'democracy of movement' from all major relevant angles. Activists and academics alike have much to learn from the book and will find it a real treat.'
- Nick Crossley, University of Manchester, UK
