Abstract:
"Democratic countries are increasingly controlled by economic interests rather than by the rule of law. Charting the protesters and social movements ""illegality"" opposing authority this volume argues that they should be, nevertheless, considered the defenders of law and order. It is these social forces that represent the legitimate self-defense against corporate breaches of human rights condoned by their governments"--Provided by publisher
