However, since the 1990s new forms of protest have been emerging. This book analyses two cases from Italy that illustrate this development: the environmentalist protest campaigns against the TAV (the building of a new high-speed railway in Val de Susa, close to the border with France), and the construction of the Bridge on the Messina Straits (between Calabria and Sicily). Such mobilizations emerge from local conflicts but develop as part of a global justice movement, often resulting in the production of new identities. They are promoted through multiple networks of different social and political groups, that share common claims and adopt various forms of protest action. It is during the protest campaigns that a sense of community is created.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e \t\u003ci\u003e\"The book is a welcome addition to the existing body of work on social and protest movements...[It] offers fresh and original insights into protest movements and its arguments are well made and convincing.\"\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cb\u003e  ·  Modern Italy\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \t“\u003cem\u003eThe insights of this study make for an interesting book that leads us further into the understanding of contemporary conflicts\u003c\/em\u003e.”\u003cb\u003e  ·  \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSouth European Society and Politics\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e \tAcknowledgments\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \t\u003cb\u003eChapter 1.
