Assessing the Politics of Protest Political Science and the Study of Social Movements

Social movements represent a challenge not only to more conventional political action, but also to academic analysis. To be sure, scholarly inquiry often does not neatly follow disciplinary boundaries. Topics, ideas, methods, and even scholars borrow move across disciplinary boundaries. Such disciplinary spillover figures to be even more pronounced in an area of inquiry like social movements, where the definitional boundaries are not well delineated and the questions to be explored are extremely diverse. As a discipline, political science touches on many aspects of social movements and the politics of protest
