Counterpower is the power the ‘have-nots' can use to resist the power of the ‘haves'. No movement has achieved lasting change without it. From the revolutions of the 18th century to the Arab Spring of 2011, in his new book Tim Gee investigates the campaigns of the past and the present day and reveals the dynamics of social change.
