Sommario/riassunto

Provocation is a peculiar, manipulating form of political influence. It involves artificial triggering of events, attitudes and human behaviours and one-sided determination of disputable issues requiring agreement. The author presents real-world examples to illuminate the various intricacies of this concept, its applications, aims, and much more.
