Sumario:The writers examine the state of legal control of social movements since the nonviolent protests at the 1999 World Trade Organization meeting in Seattle, Washington. They review previous literature on the relationship between the state and social movements and draw on ethnographic data, independent media reports, activist discussions, and public texts to outline a general framework for the study of the social control of dissent. The writers focus specifically on understanding how legal mechanisms are deployed to control protest, and how activists resist these control tactics.
