Social Movements and Political Study

Social Movements have become a central focus of political study in recent years. Paul Byrne's accessible account of British Social movements introduces students to the relevant theories, and puts them into practice by examining groups such as Greenpeace, Friends of the Earth, the Women’s Movement, and the Green Party.

Byrne goes on to look at how the British scene compares with what is happening in the rest of Europe and in America.
