Abstract
When we published the first edition of this handbook a decade ago, we noted the rapid growth of scholarly interest in social movements and collective action in particular since the 1990s and the proliferation of social movement studies across the social scientific disciplines. In the decade that lies between the first and second edition of this handbook, the field of social movement studies was boosted by new important mobilizations across the globe that spurred research and led to an impressive number of recent publications.
