These disruptions range from strikes and street protests to riots and civil disobedience to revolution. In \u003ci\u003eWar, States, and Contention\u003c\/i\u003e, Tarrow shows how such movements sometimes trigger, animate, and guide the course of war and how they sometimes rise during war and in war''s wake to change regimes or even overthrow states. Tarrow draws on evidence from historical and contemporary cases, including revolutionary France, the United States from the Civil War to the antiVietnam War movement, Italy after World War I, and the United States during the decade following 9\/11.In the twenty-first century, movements are becoming transnational, and globalization and internationalization are moving war beyond conflict between states. The radically new phenomenon is not that movements make war against states but that states make war against movement\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe analysis of contemporary U.S. political events will be of interest tothose concerned about the recent abuses perpetrated by the U.S. government in the name of democracy and freedom.
