This volume investigates the historical development, theoretical underpinnings, and cross-border diffusion of social movements within the European context. Editors Laurence Cox and Cristina Flesher Fominaya assemble a collection of scholarly contributions that analyze how local activist cultures evolve into transnational phenomena. By examining specific case studies—ranging from anti-nuclear protests to anti-austerity campaigns—the authors argue that European social movements are defined by a complex interplay of historical memory, cultural identity, and institutional resistance.
