Zurich

In the summer of 2009 I spoke at a conference in Zurich: Shaping Europe in a Globalized World? Protest Movements and the Rise of a Transnational Civil Society. At that conference I attended a very interesting panel that provided theories and case studies related to efforts to ‘prevent and tame’ political protest.

Subsequently the organizers asked me to write a preface for the book edited by Peter Ullrich and others, “Prevent and Tame: Protest Under (Self) Control” (Berlin: Verlag 2010). Please follow this link for the pdf of my preface.

This preface can be read in conjunction with the interview I gave on summit/policing strategies in an earlier posting. See Thoughts from Lock Down Toronto: Reflections on the 2010 G8/G20 Summits.
