Social Movements

Identity, Culture, and the State

"Why do social movements take the forms they do? How do activists' efforts and beliefs interact with the cultural and political contexts in which they work? Why do activists take particular strategic paths, and how do their strategies affect the course and impact of the movement? Representing a new generation of social movement theory, the contributors to this volume build bridges between political opportunities and collective identity paradigms, between analyses of movements' internal dynamics and their external contexts, between approaches that emphasize structure and those that emphasize culture. Case studies range from civil rights and religious movements in North American and Western Europe to revolutionary movements in Burma, the Philippines, and Indonesia; labor campaigns in England and South Africa; and feminist movements in India. Combining a variety of perspectives on a wide range of topics, the contributors' synthetic approach shifts the field of social movements forward in important new directions."--Back cover.

Social Movements and American Political Institutions

Social movements in the United States are important political actors because of their scale and duration, their generation of new ideas and understandings of existing problems, their ability to mobilize those who were previously passive citizens, and the impetus they provide for restructuring and broadening the agenda of American politics. This volume combines chapters by a distinguished group of social movement scholars, from both sociology and political science, who use perspectives ranging from political process theory to rational choice and collective action approaches to evaluate the functioning of institutions of American government and the public policies that they produce. A diverse group of movements and interests are featured: women, public interest, native America, the environment, the Christian Right, abortion, gay rights, and homelessness among them.

The Social Movement Society

Contentious Politics for a New Century

Is there more social protest now than there was prior to the movement politics of the 1960s, and if so, does it result in a distinctly less civil society throughout the world? If everybody protests, what does protest mean in advanced industrial societies? This volume brings together scholars from Europe and the U.S., and from both political science and sociology, to consider the ways in which the social movement has changed as a political form and the ways in which it continues to change the societies in which it is prevalent.

Handbook of Social Movements Across Disciplines

This book aims to revisit the interdisciplinary roots of social movement studies. Each discipline raises its own questions and approaches the subject from a different angle or perspective.

They each review the approach their sector has developed and discuss their disciplines’ contributions and insights to the knowledge of social movements. Furthermore, each chapter addresses the "unanswered questions" and discusses the overlaps with other fields as well as reviewing the interdisciplinary advances so far.

Social Movement Organizations

Guide to Research on Insurgent Realities

Well-known for his sociological studies of social movements, John Lofland has now written the authoritative guide to research on social movement organizations viewed as insurgent realities - countercurrents of varying intensity and duration, which challenge mainstream conceptions of how society ought to be organized and how life ought to be lived.

For them, social movement analysis such as explained in this guide is likely less
pertinent. What is required, instead, is a more generic perspective on conflict per
se among relatively equal parties in strife as visualized in Relation A of Figure ...

Gerakan Pemuda Ansor

Dari Era Kolonial hingga Pascareformasi

Ansor bersama-sama dengan induknya, NU, adalah garda depan dalam melawan kecenderungan menguatnya politikidentitas yang mengatasnamakan agama, tatkala elemen-elemen lain dari bangsa ini seperti maju-mundur atau bahkan takut untuk menghadapinya.

Keterkaitan dengan urusan-urusan atau isu-isu luar negeri selama beberapa waktu juga menunjukkan sisi internasional dari organisasi ini.

Hal inilah yang kemudian membentuk karakter Ansor.
