“Globalizing Spaces of Dissent: The Power of the City Square.”

Dissertation abstract
Protest is today increasingly interwoven with such places as Tahrir, Maidan, Zuccotti Park, or Tiananmen. Scholars of Global Social Movements have paid attention to this new protest form that centers around the physical space of the square, however, the relationship between these protest and globalization remains only vaguely explored.
