* Explores this general proposition in a cross-national study of the austerity protests, or the 'IMF Riots' that have affected so many debtor nations since the mid-1970s
* Argues that modern austerity protests, like the classical "bread riots" in eighteenth-century Europe are political acts aimed at injustice, but acts that are an integral part of the process of international economic and political restructuring
* Evaluates how modern food riots are most important for what they reveal about global economic transformation and its social, and political, consequences
* Provides a general framework (drawing on comparative and historical material) and then trace the cycle of uneven development, debt, neo-liberal reform, and protest in Latin America, Africa, Asia, the Middle East, and Eastern Europe
* Focusses on the role of women in structural adjustment and protest politics and the features of seemingly anomalous cases which qualify the general argument
