- Synopsis
- As Johnston (social psychology and social change, San Diego State U.) and Almeida (sociology, Texas A&M U.) observe, Latin America has experienced an unprecedented wave of popular protest in the last decade, a phenomenon they argue is not fully explainable by reference to economic grievances and social claims. Their characterization of the new social movements find a fuller explanation in the intersection of three themes: neoliberal economic globalization and its effect on the articulation of claims, democratization and the opening of political opportunities for challenging groups, and networks of advocacy and support organized on a transnational scale. They present 13 case studies that explore these themes, individually and in combination, as they have manifested in Mexico, Argentina, Venezuela, El Salvador, Nicaragua, Brazil, and Guatemala.
