The History of Social Movements in Global Perspective

A Survey

Social movements have shaped and are shaping modern societies around the globe; this is evident when we look at examples such as the Arab Spring, Spain’s Indignados and the wider Occupy movement. In this volume, experts analyse the ‘classic’ and new social movements from a uniquely global perspective and offer insights in current theoretical discussions on social mobilisation. Chapters are devoted both to the study of continental developments of social movements going back to the nineteenth century and ranging to the present day, and to an emphasis on the transnational dimension of these movements. Interdisciplinary and truly international, this book is an essential text on social movements for historians, political scientists, sociologists, philosophers and social scientists.

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.

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 Islam Simbolik ; Politik Kepentingan FPI

Salah satu kesimpulan penting dari buku ini adalah bahwa gerakan Islam radikal FPI bukanlah termasuk gerakan Islam-radikal fundamentalis yang memiliki komitmen tinggi untuk memperjuangkan Islam dan mencita-citakan berdirinya negara Islam. Akan tetapi, ia merupakan ge-rakan Islam-radikal-politik, yang menjadikan agama hanya sebagai kedok untuk menutupi kepentingan politik dan ekonomi para pemimpinnya.

Watak gerakan ini sangat sesuai dengan karakteristik sosial mereka saat ini,
yaitu menggunakan simbol dan legitimasi agama untuk melakukan tindak
kekerasan. Gerakan seperti inilah yang menghubungkan realitas sosial
