The two most recent trends in human relations  individualism and economic globalisation  have contributed to authoritarianism in politics and inequality among citizens. This book analyses how collective action might offset the most destructive consequences for well-being of these two tendencies. It explores these manifestations of collective action and their impact on social relations and social policies in the developed world. Further, the volume sets out a programme for more progressive and egalitarian future for global populations.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEngaging, accessible and transdisciplinary, this book will be of great interest to scholars and researchers of politics and public policy, sociology, social psychology,\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e1. \u003c\/b\u003eIntroduction, \u003cstrong\u003e2. \u003c\/strong\u003eThe History and Dynamics of Collective Action: Crisis and Transformation, \u003cb\u003e3. \u003c\/b\u003eRelationship: The Dynamics of Feeling, \u003cb\u003e4. \u003c\/b\u003eCouples and Families, \u003cb\u003e5. \u003c\/b\u003eWell-being and Social Value, \u003cb\u003e6. \u003c\/b\u003eCivic Relationships and Civil Society, \u003cb\u003e7. \u003c\/b\u003eGlobalisation, \u003cb\u003e8. \u003c\/b\u003eConflict and Coercion, \u003cb\u003e9. \u003c\/b\u003eA New Direction?, \u003cb\u003e10. \u003c\/b\u003eThe Revival of Nationalism, \u003cb\u003e11. \u003c\/b\u003eThe State, \u003cb\u003e12. \u003c\/b\u003eMobility and Migration, \u003cb\u003e13. \u003c\/b\u003eExtremism, Political and Religious, \u003cb\u003e14. \u003c\/b\u003eNations and Sustainability, \u003cb\u003e15. \u003c\/b\u003eA New Cold War?, \u003cb\u003e16. \u003c\/b\u003eA New Basis for Citizenship, \u003cb\u003e17. \u003c\/b\u003eConclusions\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Taylor \u0026 Francis Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51018965418327,"sku":"9781032308876","price":37.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9781032308876.jpg?v=1750778841","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/collective-action-9781032308876","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
