| Sumario: | 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.

Policing Dissent provides a firsthand account of the changing nature of control efforts employed by law enforcement agencies. |
