Power in Movement

Social Movements and Contentious Politics

By: Sidney G. Tarrow

Social movements have an elusive power but one that is altogether real. From the French and American revolutions to the post-Soviet, ethnic and terrorist movements of today, contentious politics exercises a fleeting but powerful influence on politics, society and international relations. This study surveys the modern history of the modern social movements in the West and their diffusion to the global South through war, colonialism and diffusion, and it puts forward a theory to explain its cyclical surges and declines. It offers an interpretation of the power of movements that emphasizes effects on the lives of militants, policy reforms, political institutions and cultural change. The book focuses on the rise and fall of social movements as part of contentious politics in general and as the outcome of changes in political opportunities and constraints, state strategy, the new media of communication and transnational diffusion.

Delphi Complete Poetical Works of Mary Sidney (Illustrated)

By: Mary Sidney

The most important woman writer of Elizabethan England, Mary Sidney produced innovative poems, with complex metres, while promoting the legacy of her brother Sir Philip Sidney. The Sidneys were influenced by Continental writers, seeking to bring new forms, techniques and themes to England. Her most celebrated work is a metric translation of the ‘Book of Psalms’, completing a project her brother had started. Winning the admiration of Jonson, Donne and Milton, Mary Sidney’s poetry employs numerous verse forms, significant for metrical variety, as well as graceful content. Recent scholarship has re-evaluated her literary achievements, revealing how influential she was for future women writers. The Delphi Poets Series offers readers the works of literature’s finest poets, with superior formatting. This volume presents Mary Sidney’s complete works, with related illustrations and the usual Delphi bonus material.

Power in Movement

Social Movements and Contentious Politics

By: Sidney Tarrow

Unlike political or economic institutions, social movements have an elusive power, but one that is no less real. From the French and American revolutions through the democratic and workers' movements of the nineteenth century to the totalitarian movements of today, movements exercise a fleeting but powerful influence on politics and society. This study surveys the history of the social movement, puts forward a theory of collective action to explain its surges and declines, and offers an interpretation of the power of movement that emphasises its effects on personal lives, policy reforms and political culture. While covering cultural, organisational and personal sources of movements' power, the book emphasises the rise and fall of social movements as part of political struggle and as the outcome of changes in political opportunity structure.

American Government

Enduring Principles, Critical Choices

By: Marc Landy,Sidney M. Milkis

This book brings the study of American politics and government alive by presenting American politics as a dramatic narrative of conflict and change. It adopts an American political development approach in order to show how the past, present, and visions of the future interact to shape governing institutions and political forces. There is a strong emphasis on the role of ideas. Two key political development principles - path dependency and critical choice - are central to explaining how and why the past affects the present and future. Each chapter begins with an opening vignette that epitomizes the key themes of the chapter. The book's developmental approach does not diminish the attention it gives to current matters but it does provide a richer context for the appreciation and understanding of the whole gamut of attitudes, behaviors, organizational activities, and institutional relationships that comprise American political and governmental life.
