在这篇文章中，作者把注意力集中在争议政治的一个鲜为人知的方面：新形式的抗议行为的跨国扩散与警察应对措施之间的相互作用。对扩散的研究通常限于一种创新由一组行为者向另一组行为者的扩散，如技术创新从创新者向采用者的扩散。但是，集体行动的扩散也产生了一系列平行的、相互作用的“公共秩序”反应。作者利用世纪之交出现的跨国反峰会作为证据来源，重点关注抗议者和警察创新跨越国界的共同进化。作者的主要发现是，导致抗议者和警察创新扩散的机制非常相似，尽管他们可以在不同的时刻以不同的方式联合收割机：推广，发送者行为者旨在故意扩散创新的积极干预;评估、分析关于过去事件的信息及其成功或失败的定义，这导致创新适应新的地点和情况;理论化，技术创新在更广泛的规范和认知框架内的位置。作者最后将他们的研究结果应用于最近在中东和北非传播的抗议者策略和政权反应。
In this article, the authors focus attention on a poorly understood aspect of contentious politics: the interaction between the transnational diffusion of new forms of protest behavior and police practices in response to them. Studies of diffusion are usually limited to the diffusion of one kind of innovation by one set of actors to another, as in the diffusion of technical innovations from innovators to adopters. But collective action diffusion also produces a parallel and interactive sequence of “public order” reactions. Using the transnational countersummits that emerged around the turn of the century as their source of evidence, the authors focus on the coevolution of protester and police innovations across national boundaries. The authors’ major finding is that the mechanisms that cause protester and police innovations to diffuse are remarkably similar, even though they can combine in different ways at different moments: promotion, the proactive intervention by a sender actor aimed at deliberate diffusion of an innovation; assessment, the analysis of information on past events and their definition as successes or failures, which leads to adaption of the innovation to new sites and situations; and theorization, the location of technical innovations within broader normative and cognitive frameworks. The authors close with a speculative application of their findings to the recent diffusion of protester tactics and regime responses in the Middle East and North Africa.
