Really a topic

I don't see how this is much different from Protest methods. Is the expression really used that much? I have never heard it before. Borock (talk) 15:28, 31 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

First, protest methods just redirects to protest, where it is just an unreferenced list, with no theory behind them. Second, "repertoire of contention" is how social movement scientists call protest methods. Check Google Books usage of the term. --_{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| talk} 17:21, 31 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
