Explores how May Day demonstrations have evolved and taken different trajectories in different political contexts. By concluding with reflections on the future of the May Day ritual in Western Europe, this title provides a detailed analysis of its evolution as a protest event.

The policing of protest that began to attract attention in the 1990s and the changing political climate since September 11 2001 mean that a new cycle of protest is challenging the concept of law and order and civil liberties. This book examines how new policing styles are developing using case studies from North America and Europe.
