And yet research on the topic remains highly fragmented, reflecting the influence of at least three traditional divisions. The first of these reflects the view that various forms of contention are distinct and should be studied independent of others. Separate literatures have developed around the study of social movements, revolutions and industrial conflict. A second approach to the study of political contention denies the possibility of general theory in deference to a grounding in the temporal and spatial particulars of any given episode of contention. The study of contentious politics are left to 'area specialists' and/or historians with a thorough knowledge of the time and place in question. Finally, overlaid on these two divisions are stylized theoretical traditions - structuralist, culturalist, and rationalist - that have developed largely in isolation from one another." http://www.loc.gov/catdir/description/cam021/2001016172.html OP - 387 CN - HM866 .M23 2001eb SN - 0511041713 SN - 9780511041716 SN - 9780511805431 SN - 0511805438 SN - 9780511044045 SN - 0511044046 SN - 9786610433452 SN - 6610433453 SN - 9780521805889 SN - 0521805880 SN - 9780521011877 SN - 0521011876 SN - 9781280433450 SN - 1280433450 SN - 9780511302404 SN - 0511302401 KW - Collective behavior.
