Inhaltsangabe

Why do new social movement tactics spread to some places and not others? Wood argues that inequalities rooted in political history, political economy and local interactions can make social movements more or less able to evaluate and incorporate new tactics.

Críticas

'With Direct Action, Deliberation, and Diffusion, Lesley Wood has developed a detailed analysis of the way activists in New York City and Toronto interpreted and responded to Seattle. The monograph provides substantive insight into contemporary urban activism and theoretical insight into mechanisms that propel the diffusion of protest tactics ... Wood's most valuable insights, for this reader, arose when reflecting the many-faceted structure of diffusion as mechanism and outcome.' David Strang, American Journal of Sociology
