Description
Book SynopsisTrade ReviewBy producing a systematic comprehensive work they offer something new that is a great step towards defining the framing perspective as a new academic sub-field in its own right. While non-specialists and students will benefit most from this book with its substantial overview of the relevant literature, the ideology vs. frame debate contained in the final chapters will trigger a great deal of debate among academic scholars. * Political Studies Review *
With useful material on framing and the mobilization process, nonmovement actors, political opportunity structures, and debates within the framing perspectives, this collection provides a well-thought-out compendium of work in the area. -- N.B. Rosenthal, SUNY at Stony Brook * CHOICE *
