OverviewIs the process of European integration shifting the targets of social movements from the national arena to the European level? Does the EU remain isolated from the reach of national democratic politics? Or are social movements responding to the transnational issues posed by the European Union, but continuing to do so by treading the traditional pathways of nation-specific contentious politics? Addressing these key questions, this volume explores how European citizens are responding to the growing policymaking power of the EU. The contributors argue that the emergence of a supernational realm of European government offers new opportunities and constraints for domestic social actors. The book presents a newly developed theoretical framework, which is tested against the evidence offered by the editor's longitudinal and cross-national database on contentious political action, as well as by a series of sector-specific case studies.
