Hello, Could anyone recommend any synthesis books like Sidney Tarrow's _Power in Movement_ (1998) which provide an overview of collective action examples either in Africa, the Islamic world, India, East Asia, or Latin America? His book tells half the story of the politics of state expansion and movement facilitation, geographicaly speaking: from Russia to Europe to the United States. A book is required that deals with the many polities outside his example frame. Hopefully there is something you have heard of, or know of somewhere there is a list of references for social movements literatures which DISREGARD Europe and the United States.
