Contention offers a novel contribution to the study of social protest and political behavior. The journal intends to advance knowledge about a comprehensive range of collective actions, social movements, and other forms of political and social contention. Its main purposes are to offer a multidisciplinary forum to scholars from different fields and to bridge the gap between them, within and across the social sciences and humanities.
