Dissatisfied with the compartmentalization of studies concerning strikes, wars, revolutions, social movements, and other forms of political struggle, McAdam, Tarrow, and Tilly identify causal mechanisms and processes that recur across a wide range of contentious politics. Critical of the static, single-actor models (including their own) that have prevailed in the field, they shift the focus of analysis to dynamic interaction. Doubtful that large, complex series of events such as revolutions and social movements conform to general laws, they break events into smaller episodes, then identify recurrent mechanisms and proceses within them. Dynamics of Contention examines and compares eighteen contentious episodes drawn from many different parts of the world since the French Revolution, probing them for consequential and widely applicable mechanisms, for example, brokerage, category formation, and elite defection. The episodes range from nineteenth-century nationalist movements to contemporary Muslim-Hindu conflict to the Tiananmen crisis of 1989 to disintegration of the Soviet Union. The authors spell out the implications of their approach for explanation of revolutions, nationalism, and democratization, then lay out a more general program for study of contentious episodes wherever and whenever they occur.

《斗争的动力》出自三位一流学者之手，它毫无疑问是过去二十年内关于社会运动(及相关现象)最雄心勃勃的著作，或许也是最重要的著作。
——《社会学》
本书选取了自法国大革命以来发生在世界各地的 18例斗争事件，试图通过比较性的分析，为研究不同时期、不同地域的各类政治斗争事件提出一个较具一般性的方案。几位作者详细说明了他们在解释革命、民族 主义及民主化问题时所使用方法的含义，力图辨明一再引发广泛的斗争政治活动的各种机制及其作用过程，如居间联络、范畴形成和精英背叛等等，由此对目前斗争 政治研究领域盛行的静态的单一行动者模式提出批判，并将分析的重心转移到斗争中的动态互动上。
