How Social Movements Can Save Democracy

Democratic Innovations from Below

The birth of democracies owes much to the interventions and mobilizations of ordinary people. Yet many feel as though they have inherited democratic institutions which do not deliver for the people – that a rigid democratic process has been imposed from above, with increasing numbers of people feeling left out or left behind. In this well-researched volume, leading political sociologist Donatella della Porta rehabilitates the role social movements have long played in fostering and deepening democracy, particularly focusing on progressive movements of the Left which have sought to broaden the plurality of voices and knowledge in democratic debate. Bridging social movement studies and democratic theory, della Porta investigates contemporary innovations in times of crisis, particularly those in the direction of participatory and deliberative practices – ‘crowd-sourced constitutions’, referendums from below and movement parties – and reflects on the potential and limits of such alternative politics. In a moment in which concerns increase for the potential disruption of a Great Regression led by xenophobic movements and parties, the cases and analyses of resistance in this volume offer important material for students and scholars of political sociology, political science and social movement studies.

Methodological Practices in Social Movement Research

Social movement studies have grown enormously in the last few decades, spreading from sociology and political science to other fields of knowledge, as varied as geography, history, anthropology, psychology, economics, law and others. With the growing interest in the field, there has been also an increasing need for methodological guidance for empirical research. This volume aims at addressing this need by introducing main methods of data collection and dataanalysis as they have been used in past research on social movements. The book emphasises a practical approach, presenting in each chapter specific discussions on the main steps of research using a certain method; from research design to data collection and the use of information. Indoing so, dilemmas and choices are presented, and illustrated within chapters following the same systemic approach.

Social Movements, Political Violence, and the State

A Comparative Analysis of Italy and Germany

This book presents empirical research on the nature and structure of political violence. While most studies of social movements focus on single-nation studies, Donatella della Porta uses a comparative research design to analyze movements in two countries--Italy and Germany--from the 1960s to the 1990s. Through extensive use of official documents and in-depth interviews, della Porta is able to explain the actors' construction of external political reality, and to build a theory on political violence that synthesizes the various interactions among political actors.

This book presents empirical research on the nature and structure of political violence.

Melawan Kristenisasi

MELAWAN KRISTENISASI Kristenisasi seperti teknologi. Selalu ada dengan beragam inovasi. Tujuan utama adalah pemurtadan. Kalau tidak pemurtadan, minimalnya adalah pendangkalan. Sebagai sebuah keniscayaan, Kristenisasi tentu perlu disikapi. Teramat tidak patut bagi seorang muslim untuk menolak sesuatu yang telah dinyatakan secara jelas dalam al-Qur’an. Menolak dengan dalih apa pun, Kristenisasi memang ada dan akan selalu ada dengan segala bentuknya. Miris jika Kristenisasi sekadar dianggap sebagai Kristenfobia. Semakin miris kala pencitraan Nasrani sebagai agama yang penuh damai dan kasih demikian tebal. Padahal, Allah l sendiri yang menyatakan bahwa kaum Yahudi dan Nasrani tidak akan pernah ridha hingga kita mengikuti agama mereka. Artinya, Kristenisasi tidak akan pernah berhenti di setiap tempat dan waktu. Ia akan selalu menyelinap, menyusup di tengah masyarakat muslim di mana pun dan sampai kapan pun. Maka, jangan jadi penonton, mari kita lawan derasnya arus pemurtadan. Baca kajian lengkapnya di edisi ini.
