Children in Social Movements

Rethinking Agency, Mobilization and Rights

Children’s participation in social movements is presented through a theoretical typology consisting of strategic participants, participants by default and active participants. This range of participation accounts for the social location of children historically and internationally, calling for their inclusion into social movement research. Children are unresearched and untheorized participants within social movement literature. Providing rich detail of children’s participation through illustrative case studies, this book presents the ideal types of participation as grounded in their social movement activity. These cross cultural, historical and contemporary case studies include, whenever possible, children’s perspective in their own words. Utilizing insights from childhood studies on agency and rights of children enhances the understanding of social movement strategies and mobilization. Following the chapters on each type of participation, suggestions are provided for rethinking existing social movement theories to acknowledge child participants. Scholars and students of social movements and childhood studies, as well as within the field of sociology will find interest in the wide range of case studies presented of children in social movements. The discussion of how social movement theory might be applied to the types of participation is meant to inspire future research and expand analysis of children’s participation in social movements.

What is a Social Movement?

Social movements play a central role in the scope and direction of social change. They were instrumental in the creation of the modern state and, today, are major forces in politics and culture. Environmentalism, gay rights, alterglobalization, and Islamic fundamentalism are all movements with far-reaching impacts on contemporary society. What is a Social Movement? traces how the study of movements such as these - of their structures, their ideas, and their repertoires of protest - have grown in recent years to become a major focus in the social sciences. It deftly navigates the organizational, ideational, and cultural complexity of political and social movements, and offers a succinct but comprehensive overview of the hows, whys, and wheretofores of studying them. The book analyzes how politics and culture frequently intersect as people participate in movements that call for change and pursue group interests. By focusing on movement organizations and networks, on what they do, and how they articulate their ideas of justice and collective interests, What is a Social Movement? lays the essential groundwork for understanding this significant and exciting field of research, where it came from, and where it is headed.

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. Pemikiran aswaja mendorong Ansor untuk menjadi moderat dan fleksibel baik dalam bidang politik maupun sosial. Sikap fleksibel itu memungkinkan Ansor dapat mempertahankan eksistensinya dalam berbagai situasi kekuasaan. Dalam bidang sosial, fleksibilitas itu membuat Ansor dapat membangun relasi dengan berbagai elemen masyarakat, seperti gerakan pemuda lainnya, beragam kelompok Islam, dan khususnya dengan kelompok minoritas. Di bidang ekonomi, fleksibilitas Ansor dapat menentukan pilihan untuk berkiprah dalam ekonomi kerakyatan di pedesaan sekaligus membangun jejaring dengan institusi-institusi besar ekonomi. ... perkembangan Ansor tidak terlepas dari dimensi-dimensi sosial-politik, baik dalam maupun luar negeri. Penggambaran konteks sosial-politik ini memperlihatkan bagaimana Ansor berkembang seiring dengan perjalanan Indonesia, yang juga tak lepas dari berbagai pengaruh luar maupun dalam. Keterkaitan dengan urusan-urusan atau isu-isu luar negeri selama beberapa waktu juga menunjukkan sisi internasional dari organisasi ini. Dengan demikian, Ansor kelihatannya tidak hanya memiliki nilai strategis bagi kekuatan politik di tanah air, tetapi juga berkembang karena hadirnya pengaruh-pengaruh yang bersumber dari perkembangan zaman. Hal inilah yang kemudian membentuk karakter Ansor.

Dalam bidang sosial, fleksibilitas itu membuat Ansor dapat membangun relasi dengan berbagai elemen masyarakat, seperti gerakan pemuda lainnya, beragam kelompok Islam, dan khususnya dengan kelompok minoritas.

Gerakan Buruh Indonesia

Gerakan buruh merupakan gerakan sosial tertua di Indonesia. Tetapi belum berhasil menempatkan kader-kadernya dalam pemerintahan, kecuali di era Soekarno. Gerakan keagamaan yang lebih muda usianya seperti Nahdlatul Ulama dan Muhammadiyah selalu berhasil menempatkan kadernya di pemerintahan bahkan menjadi presiden. Tidak disangsikan fragmentasi gerakan yang terus berlangsung dari masa ke masa telah menguras energi dan tidak bisa memanfaatkan momen-momen penting dalam transisi kekuasaan. Fragmentasi semacam ini di era Orde Baru selalu dialamatkan kepada besarnya campur tangan pemerintah. Tetapi setelah era demokrasi, fragmentasi tidak kunjung berhenti. Watak politik dari gerakan yang lekat sejak kelahirannya, kuatnya gerakan buruh berbasis agama, lemahnya gerakan buruh berbasis lapangan kerja, kekerasan dari kekuatan eksternal, lemah dalam membangun koalisi merupakan beberapa faktor yang mendorong fragmentasi. Meskipun disadari banyak faktor lain, seperti kekuatan eksternal tetapi lemahnya konsensus antar serikat membuat tantangan kolektif terutama terhadap kekuasaan tidak memiliki makna berarti. Dilihat dari jumlah, pada tahun 2019 ada 55,3 juta pekerja formal, suatu potensi suara yang sangat besar. PDIP sebagai pemenang pemilu 2019 hanya meraih suara 27,05 juta. Jika serikat buruh bersatu dan berhasil meyakinkan buruh, bukan mustahil kekuasaan dapat dipegang oleh buruh.
