Zusammenfassung:Over the past decade there has been an unprecedented mobilization of street protests worldwide from the demonstrations that helped bring progressive governments to power in Latin America to the Arab Spring to Occupy movements in the United States and Europe to democracy protests in China. This edited volume investigates the current status, nature, and dynamics of the new politics that characterizes social movements from around the world that are part of this revolutionary wave. Spanning case studies from five continents - Latin America, Africa and the Middle East, Asia, Europe and the USA - this volume examines the varied manifestations of the current cycle of protest, which emerged from the Global South, as they found expression in various parts of the world as well as their interconnections - the globalized nature of movements. Analytically converging around Sidney Tarrow's emphasis on protest cycles, political opportunity structures, and identity, the individual chapters investigate processes such as global framing, internationalization, diffusion, scale shifts, externalizations, and transnational coalition building, to provide an analytic cartography of the current state of social movements as they are simultaneously globalizing while still being embedded in their respective localities
