MAKING CONTACT - a weekly international radio program
September 5, 2001
We see the images and hear the descriptions of clashes between protesters and law enforcement officials, flashing across our screens, newspapers, and magazines. It may be difficult to discern what's at stake. On this program, we take a look at some of the politics behind civil disobedience.
