Political and social movements - the use of non-institutional strategies, tools and tactics to affect political change in the modern political state. This course looks at the various movements from those for national self-determination to those which redress “wrongs” to those which are means of increasing or decreasing citizenship and participation. This course will examine the theoretical and particulars of social political movements and protests. Key questions will be addressed such as under what contexts do movements emerge; how effective are movements in affecting change; and, are movements and protests a necessary part of the political process.
