By using the heuristic possibilities offered by this theory, it was possible to construct a historical and sociological reconstruction of the emergence, formation and institutionalization of the Russian restorative justice movement. This movement was ...

This article examines the key tenets of the theory of scientific/intellectual movements (SIMs) developed by Scott Frickel and Neil Gross, while demonstrating its connection to the recent interdisciplinary field of Science and Technology Studies (STS). Until recently, sociology lacked a theory with a universal explanatory power for analyzing intellectual movements. The Frickel — Gross framework ...

Despite the presence of mass grievances and moral indignation
against the political elite and the monied class, the social
movements in Bangladesh in the last decade, albeit very few, have
failed to transform the increasingly authoritarian and
claustrophobic political milieu. In fact, the nation has not seen
that many movements, notwithstanding serious mass grievances
on social, political, and economic issues. This ...

Since the late 1960s, the Indian government has been trying to alleviate drought for rural agriculturalists, especially in drought-afflicted states like Maharashtra. To do this, they have set up several large multipurpose hydropower projects to provide water for agricultural irrigation. However, much of this water does not end up with smallholders and most of the ...

Reflecting the growing interest of historians in memory studies, this edited collection examines the relationship between memory and global social movements from 1848 to the present. For a long time, there has been little attempt by historians to consider memory and social activism in an integrated, systematic, and comparative way. However, in recent years, scholars ...

Sustained advocacy by the indigenous people and a coalition of civil society organizations led the government to pass the Scheduled Tribes and Other Traditional Forest Dwellers (Recognition of Forest Rights) Act, 2006 (FRA) in India. But the Act failed to democratize forest governance as its implementation failed, and subsequent dilutions resulted in its unmaking. Using primary data ...

There is a diversity of approaches to the use of frame analysis in political studies of social movements.

By the beginning of the 2010s, Russia has developed a party system and an electoral culture for which the ideological spectrum is not critically important. However, the high-profile political processes, the events of recent years and the leap in the development of social media have contributed to the reactualization of the ideological spectrum in the field of unconventional politics. ...

The other is ...

The followers/leaders, participation/leadership division is less obvious in Networked Social Movements than in traditional movements. Participants in these movements, adhering to egalitarian principles, seek to emphasize the absence of leaders, which has led some to characterize the movements as “leaderless.” This article interrogates that perspective through a critical review of these interpretations and myths, as ...

This article tell us about the problems of socio-economic inequality and its connection with structural conflicts, which are expressed in actions of a number of social movements (anti-globalists, alter-globalists, anarchists, etc.). Theoretical analysis of socio-economic inequality based on specific cases related to these social movements leads to the following conclusions: internal conflict of one individual ...

Demographic changes associated with the transition from traditional to modern economies underlie many modern theories of protest formation. Both the level of urbanization and the “Youth Bulge” effect have proven to be particularly reliable indicators for predicting protest events. However, given that in the course of economic development these processes often occur simultaneously, it seems ...

extension. Two sources of expansion of the norm are considered - social movements
(using the example of the movement for neurodiversity) and formal sciences

the norm of reasoning ...

Much of the literature on local opposition to wind development is based on small-N case studies of controversial cases. This focus has led to an emphasis on the so-called “social gap” between positive general attitudes toward renewable energy development and local resistance to actual proposals. Instead, we conduct a fuzzy set/Qualitative Comparative Analysis of 53 ...

Brazilian society has frequently been described as polarized during the country’s recent political and economic crisis. In 2018, a wave of opposition to the centre-left Workers’ Party culminated in the election of Jair Bolsonaro, a right-wing populist who portrays the political left as a malevolent force in Brazilian society. In this paper I explore this ...

Rio Tinto had been developing a diamond mining project in Madhya
Pradesh for a decade when in 2017 it hastily abandoned the project.
We analyse this counterintuitive exit through an ethnographic approach
nested within a qualitative case study framework. We argue that the
exit was caused by multi-scalar politics. Local protests over livelihood
and labour issues –pre-emptively rearticulated by regional ...
