MACMILLAN Transforming Politics: Power and Resistance - Sociology

Transforming Politics: Power and Resistance offers a comprehensive examination of political transformation and social movements across multiple levels of society. This Palgrave Macmillan volume traces how identity shifts within social movements drive broader changes in mobilisation scale and strategic scope. The book explores the complex relationship between social movements and state institutions, analysing how governments incorporate and absorb apparently radical political agendas into mainstream governance structures. Through rigorous sociological analysis, it addresses the intellectual and theoretical debates emerging from recent political transformations, providing readers with frameworks for understanding contemporary activism, state responses, and the dynamics of social change. Ideal for students and scholars of sociology, political science, and social movement theory seeking deeper insights into how power operates within protest movements and political organisations.
