Going back two decades, Sidney Tarrow has explored "contentious politics" - disruptions of the resolved political order brought on by social motions. These disruptions range between hits and street protests to riots and civil disobedience to revolution. In War, Expresses, and Contention, Tarrow shows how such motions sometimes activate, animate, and guide the course of war and how they sometimes go up during battle and in war's wake to change regimes or even overthrow areas. In the 21st hundred years, movements have become transnational, and globalization and internationalization are moving battle beyond conflict between areas. The radically new phenomenon isn't that movements make battle against areas but that areas make battle against motions. Tarrow detects this a particularly troublesome development in recent US record. He argues that that the United States is at risk of abandoning the devotion to protection under the law it had broadened through two ages of struggle and that Americans are now institutionalizing as a "new normal" the abuse of protection under the law in the name of national security. He expands this hypothesis to the global level through what he phone calls "the international state of disaster."
