And how can people protest effectively? This book is about the psychological science and practical art of social protest, based in the psychology of motivation and mobilization. Based on decades of theorizing and research, the book offers a summary of knowledge about core motivations for social protest, a tactical triad regarding the effectiveness of social protest, and relational tools toward mobilization. \n\nFurthermore, Social Protest integrates those insights into a new relational-psychological theory of social protest with a motivational and strategic pillar - a theory that turns knowledge into understanding by portraying protesters as relational actors.
