This book i<\/a>nvestigates how social movements form their political strategies in their quest for social change and -when they shift from one strategy to another- why and how that happens. The author creates a model which distinguishes between two different roads to social change: one that passes through the seizure of state power and one that avoids any relationship with the state. Comparing the cases of two Latin American social movements, the Zapatistas in Mexico and the Bolivian Cocaleros, the volume argues that strategic choices are often decided upon through similar mechanisms. Ideal for a scholarly and non-specialist audience interested in Mexican and Bolivian politics, revolutions, and Latin American and social movement studies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThis book offers the kind of insight into the inner workings of social and revolutionary movements that only an ethnographic account can provide\u2026By examining the internal debates, factional conflicts, and patterns of socialization and political learning that shape leftist movements in Mexico and Bolivia, this book sheds new light on the transformation of radical politics in Latin America.\u201d (Kenneth Roberts, Professor, Cornell University, USA)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cA very original book\u2026Having done a remarkable field research under difficult circumstances, Oikonomakis brilliantly analyses the complexity and logic of their strategic choices.\u201d (Olivier Roy, Professor, European University Institute, Italy)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201c\u2026 addressing two most influential cases as the Zapatistas and the Cocaleros, through a rich interpretative comparative political analysis, this volume provides convincing interpretation of the constituent power of social movements.\u201d (Donatella della Porta, Professor, Scuola Normale Superiore, Italy)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThis book makes an incisive intervention into the field of social movements and political strategy through the lenses of the Zapatistas in Mexico and the coca growers in Bolivia. It weaves together theoretical argument and empirical rigor with unusual sophistication. A wonderful contribution to the literature.\u201d (Jeffery R. Webber, Senior Lecturer, Queen Mary University of London, UK)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
