Description

Within Social Change, Resistance and Social Practises, critical sociologists of various nationalities focus on cutting-edge approaches to conflict-driven social change. By emphasising the role played by contemporary social movements such as environmentalists, migrant organisations, world social forum activists, and others, these studies grapple with diverse forms of organised resistance in the 21st century.
