Contents:

Protest, control, and policing -- Perspectives on the control of dissent -- The anti-globalization movement -- Managing and regulating protest : social control and the law -- This is what democracy looks like? : the physical control of space -- "Here come the anarchists" : the psychological control of space -- Law enforcement and control.

Summary: In November 1999, fifty-thousand anti-globalization activists converged on Seattle to shut down the World Trade Organization?s Ministerial Meeting. Using innovative and network-based strategies, the protesters left police flummoxed, desperately searching for ways to control the emerging anti-corporate globalization movement. Faced with these network-based tactics, law enforcement agencies transformed their policing and social control mechanisms to manage this new threat. Policing Dissent provides a firsthand account of the changing nature of control efforts employed by law enforcement agencies.
