Reviews

The authors' purpose with this book is to investigate and analyze the activities, demonstrations, and political initiatives taking place across Europe in 2011 and 2012. ... The audience for the book is mainly for academic researchers and theorists with an interest in democracy and civil society theory. It is also recommended for researchers using surveys, demographics, and statistics as methodological tools.
