Course Aims | ||||||||||
The course seeks to assess and summarise competing theories on the origins, mobilisation and success (and failure) of social movements challenging the status quo of powerful social, political, economic and cultural systems. Through unpacking this exciting phenomenon, it offers students the analytical tools and background to critically review, assess and reflect on the world’s historical as well as emerging social movements. Students will be able to explain the role of social movements and collective action in modern Asian societies and evaluate the normative and practical implications of their impact. | ||||||||||
