Madrid, November 28.- The research of Charles Tilly (1929-2008), an essential author for the understanding of political strife and social conflict, shows how social bases organized in various forms of collective action can influence and condition the march. of history. His studies on revolutions, the formation and evolution of States and his theory of collective action revolve around his great concern: the defense of citizen rights and the search for political systems attentive to the living conditions of the weakest.
This work by the American sociologist, historian and political scientist presents the largest collection of reflections on his work published to date. Each chapter analyzes their texts, their theories and methodological designs, and some add case research. This book helps to understand a time marked by intense popular mobilizations, some with very relevant consequences, such as the protests that spread in 2011 from Tunisia to Egypt, Yemen, Libya, Syria, etc., the so-called "Arab Spring" and different mobilizations in the democratic West demanding more attention to citizen demands, such as the May 15 Movement (15M) in Spain replicated in other countries, the protests in Greece, the United Kingdom, etc.
