Reviews
"Is there a role for human agency in an era of increased globalization? Roland Bleiker poses and tackles this question in a provocative, philosophical way....refreshing..." Kenneth G. Lawson, Political Science Quarterly, 'Bleiker's book is a beautiful disruption of IR's contemporary theoretical doldrums. It is ambitious - both in structure and purpose - yet aware of its limits, and the impossibility (indeed undesirability) of final resolution for many of the issues it raises.'Millennium, 'Bleiker's book is a beautiful disruption of IR's contemporary theoretical doldrums.

Synopsis
This book examines a wide range of dissident practices, from street protests to political poetry, in an attempt to demonstrate that they are becoming an increasingly important aspect of global politics. The author draws on several case studies, including an analysis of the events that led to the collapse of the Berlin Wall. The theoretical discussions focus on how people influence the course of politics at a time when boundaries between domestic and international spheres are blurring., This book demonstrates how popular dissent is becoming an increasingly important aspect of global politics. The author draws upon several case studies, including the collapse of the Berlin Wall, to show how people influence the course of politics at a time when boundaries between domestic and international spheres are blurring., Popular dissent, such as street demonstrations and civil disobedience, has become increasingly transnational in nature and scope. As a result, a local act of resistance can acquire almost immediately a much larger, cross-territorial dimension. This book draws upon a broad and innovative range of sources to scrutinise this central but often neglected aspect of global politics. Through case studies that span from Renaissance perceptions of human agency to the collapse of the Berlin Wall, the author examines how the theory and practice of popular dissent has emerged and evolved during the modern period. Dissent, he argues, is more than just transnational. It has become an important 'transversal' phenomenon: an array of diverse political practices which not only cross national boundaries, but also challenge the spatial logic through which these boundaries frame international relations., This book demonstrates how popular dissent is becoming an increasingly important aspect of global politics.
