regulations.

Social Movements and New Technology

The emergence of new information communication technologies—such as the Internet and social media networking sites and platforms—has strongly affected social movement activism. In this compelling and timely book, Victoria Carty examines these movements and their uses of digital technologies within the context of social movement theory and history. With an accessible and unique mix of theory and real-world examples, Social Movements and New Technology takes readers on a tour through MoveOn and Tea Party e-mail campaigns, the hacktavist tactics of Anonymous, global online protests against rapists and rape culture, and the tweets and Facebook pages that accompanied uprisings across the Arab world, Europe, and the United States. In each case study, the reader is invited to examine the movement, organization or protest and their use of digital tools through the lens of social movement theory. Discussion questions at the end of each chapter invite critical thinking and further reflection and debate.

The Oxford Handbook of Social Movements

The Handbook presents a most updated and comprehensive exploration of social movement research. It not only maps, but also expands the field of social movement studies, taking stock of recent developments in cognate areas of studies, within and beyond sociology and political science. While structured around traditional social movement concepts, each section combines the mapping of the state of the art with attempts to broaden our knowledge of social movements beyond classic theoretical agendas, and to identify the contribution that social movement studies can give to other fields of knowledge.

Social Movement Campaigns on EU Policy

In the Corridors and in the Streets

This book investigates if and how social movement campaigns influence European policy, a particularly pertinent question in today's political climate of disillusionment with Europe in many member states. Using a range of campaigns launched by social movement organisations, from genetically modified organisms and Internet freedom to trade union rights and water rights, Parks elucidates the important differences between technical and political campaigns. Technical campaigns are characterised by extended engagement with consultation mechanisms and the production of expert information, particularly for the European Commission. In political campaigns, social movement organisations target the EU at national and local levels, using strategies reminiscent of social movements as they are more commonly known. A comparison of the campaigns suggests that targeting member state governments with protest and harnessing public opinion is central to securing influence over EU policy, and that where national and local levels are made integral to efforts in shaping European policy, influence is more likely.

This book assesses how much influence social movements have on EU policy and the means through which influence is secured.

Social Movements

Social movements around the world have used a wide variety of protest tactics to bring about enormous social changes, influencing cultural arrangements, public opinion, and government policies in the process. This concise yet in-depth primer provides a broad overview of theoretical issues in the study of social movements, illustrating key concepts with a series of case studies. It offers engaging analyses of the protest cycle of the 1960s, the women's movement, the LGBT movement, the environmental movement, right-wing movements, and global social justice movements. Author Suzanne Staggenborg examines these social movements in terms of their strategies and tactics, the organizational challenges they faced, and the roles that the mass media and counter-movements played in determining their successes and failures.

GERAKAN KOMUNISME ISLAM SURAKARTA 1914-1942

Selama ini orang menganggap bahwa Marxisme-Leninisme atau lebih mudahnya komunisme, berada dalam hubungan diametral dengan Islam. Banyak faktor pendorong kepada tumbuhnya anggapan seperti itu. Secara politis, umpamanya dalam sejarah yang belum sampai satu abad. Marxisme-Leninisme telah terlibat dalam pertentangan tak kunjung selesai dengan negara- negara (dalam artian pemerintahan negara-bangsa atau nation- state), bangsa-bangsa, dan kelompok-kelompok muslim di seluruh dunia. Dalam Peristiwa Madiun, 1948, umpamanya, kaum muslimin Indonesia berdiri berhadapan dengan Partai Komunis Indonesia (PKI) karena dua alasan. Pertama, karena PKI di bawah pimpinan Muso berusaha menggulingkan pemerintahan Republik Indonesia yang didirikan oleh bangsa yang mayoritas penduduknya beragama Islam. Kedua, karena banyak pemuka agama Islam dan ulama yang terbunuh, seperti kalangan pengasuh Pesantren Takeran yang hanya terletak beberapa kilometer di luar kota Madiun sendiri. Kiai Mursyid dan sesama kiai pesantren tersebut hingga saat ini belum diketahui di mana dikuburkan.

Dalam penggalan sejarah pergerakan di Indonesia, terdapat komunitas masyarakat yang melakukan aktualisasi ajaran Islam dalam gerakan komunisme.
