book was Peasant Communism in Southern Italy (Yale, 1967), then shifting
to comparative communism in Communism in Italy and France (Princeton
1972, ed., with Donald L.M. Blackmer. In the 1970s he made a long foray
into comparative local politics (Between Center and Periphery, Yale
1978), before, in the 1980s, turning to a quantitative and qualitative reconstruction
of Italian protest cycle of the late 1960's and early 1970's, in Democracy
and Disorder (Oxford, 1989), which received the prize for the best book
in Collective Behavior and Social Movements from the American Sociological
Association. His most recent books are Power in Movement (Cambridge,

Tilly, Cambridge, 2001), Contentious Europeans (with Doug Imig, Rowman
and Littlefield 2001), Transnational Protest and Global Activism

Activism (Cambridge 2005) and Contentious Politics (with Charles

Tarrow has served as Program co-Chair of the American Political Science
Association Annual Convention and as President of the APSA Section on Comparative
Politics. Recent work that can be viewed through this website are: "Contention
and Institutions in International Politics" (2001), "The
Dualities of Transnational Contention" (2005), "Rooted
Cosmopolitans," (2005), all three of which draw from his New Transnational

the many twists and turns in his career in "Confessions
of a Recovering Structuralist" (2006), and has recently bolstered his
