1997/278 pages/LC: 97-10773 Exploring Political Behavior |
Incorporating a new, coalitional theory of political and social movements, the authors explore the successes and failures of the freeze campaign in its attempts to influence legislation, treaties, and public opinion about nuclear weapons. They examine freeze activism in the context of the larger peace movement, its continuing relevance for current and future peace mobilizations, and its implications for the general study of political and social change.
"A fine collection ... sheds new light on the phenomenon of social movements, stressing the role of coalitions in the rise and decline of the nuclear freeze movement."—John C. Greene
