Summary:

<i>Investigates how activists confront global powers with their street-level dissent.</i><br/><br/><i>Two Sides of a Barricade</i> argues that to construct global democracy, conflict and dissent must be taken seriously. Christian Scholl explores the political significance of the confrontations within four sites of interaction: bodies, space, communication, and law. Each site of struggle provides a different entry point to understand the influence of protester and police tactics on each other. At the same time, the four sites of struggle allow a comprehensive analysis of how the contestation of global hegemonic forces during summit protests trigger a preemptive shift in social control through increased deployment of biopolitical forms of power.<br/><br/><b>Christian Scholl</b> is Lecturer in Political Science at the University of Amsterdam in the Netherlands. He is the coauthor (with Amory Starr and Luis Fernandez) of <i>Shutting Down the Streets: Political Violence and Social Control in the Global Era</i>.
