Trade ReviewThis valuable collection represents an essential tool for anybody interested not only in the Tillian logic of analysis, but in contentious politics at large. Originally conceived in Spain, and bringing together world-known specialists, it is a fitting tribute to a truly transnational scholar. -- Mario Diani, Professor of Sociology at University of Trento and ICREA Barcelona
An important book on a master of the social sciences and beyond that has done more than anyone to put contentious politics at the core of the reflection on democracy. -- Donatella Della Porta, Professor of Sociology at European University Institute
