    Extractions: ESA News from ESA Research networks Executive Committee ... Links ESA Research Networks The 2003 Murcia sessions of our network were a success and we are convinced that the sessions in 2005 at the 7th ESA conference in Torun, Poland will continue in the cross-fertilizing vein which characterized those discussions. We have invited network members to contribute with ideas as to thematic panels and below you will find a preliminary list of panels. While we are planning to include these panels it is not too late for network members and researchers in these and cognate areas to submit your own panel proposal, along with individual paper proposals. 1. The fore-runners to the ‘new wave’ of social movement protest Since the “battle of Seattle” in 1999 we have been confronted with a new wave of mass protest across the globe. We can also observe a new ‘radicalisation’ of contentious politics, in Europe, North America and elsewhere. If we avoid conclusions which implicitly regard this new wave as appearing as a ‘Phoenix rising from the ashes’ of the dull 1980s and 1990s then we have to understand the organisational and tactical developments that preceded it. We solicit papers which address historical social movement research in the ‘near past’. Can we uncover radicalizing tendencies embedded within European protest cultures during the 1980s and 1990s which have paved the way for a new wave of contentious mass politics at the fin de millennium?

Thomson Nelson Political Science Resource Centre toTitleCase('SOCIAL MOVEMENTS AND INTEREST GROUPS') Many groups find that their interests are better advanced if they organize and act collectively. They undertake political action or education in the hope of furthering their causes. For most of these groups, political activity is just one facet of their work. Some private individuals and companies act as professional lobbyists for other groups or companies. Lobbyists try to exert influence on government decision makers to ensure favourable laws and contract awards. Industry Canada provindes information about lobbyist registration , which tries to ensure lobbyists working with the federal level of government behave according to certain standards.

    Extractions: ECOFEMINISM, THE ENVIRONMENT, AND SOCIAL MOVEMENTS Paper presented at the National Communication Association 1998 Convention, New York, NY. Leila R. Brammer Gustavus Adolphus College In 1974, the term "ecofeminism" was conceived by d'Eaubonne as a connection of the ecology and women (Morgan, 1992, p. 4). In 1978, Susan Griffin's Woman and Nature: The Roaring Inside Her poetically acquainted others with the idea, but the diffusion of the idea did not become apparent until after the meltdown at Three Mile Island when six hundred women attended a conference called "Women and Life on Earth: A Conference on Eco-Feminism in the Eighties" (Caldecott and Leland, 1983, p. 6). Ecofeminism is a joining of environmental, feminist, and women's spirituality concerns (Spretnak, 1990, pp. 5-6). As the environmental movement along with environmental crises raised the consciousness of women to the decay of the earth, they began to see a parallel between the devaluation earth and the devaluation of women. Women began to see the link as not a false construction of weakness, but as a strong unifying force that clarified the violation of women and the earth as part of the same drama of male control (King, 1990). Ecofeminists claim to be part of a distinct social movement. In a book on ecofeminism

    Extractions: Associate editors: Ron R. Aminzade, David S. Meyer, and Verta Taylor The world has changed dramatically since 1989. In Eastern Europe and the former Soviet Union, an empire has crumbled, and social movements both new and old have emerged. In China and other parts of Asia and the so-called Third World, democracy movements threaten established regimes. In the United States and Western Europe, a wave of more violent racial and ethnic movements has appeared. Meanwhile the "new" social movements of the 1970s and 1980s (the women's movement, the peace movement, the environmental movement, and the gay and lesbian movement) have declined or entered new stages in their existence. Social Movements, Protest, and Contention Series reflects both these changes and continuities as well as recent trends toward the interdisciplinary study of such movements. Intending to draw on the work of historians, sociologists, political scientists, and political psychologists, the books in the series represent research of the highest quality that incorporates comparative, longitudinal, and historical approaches.

    Extractions: Description About the Editors "Most books inspired by the Iranian revolution and the political resurgence of Islam are concerned with immediate events, and many focus narrowly on the core states of the Middle East. The 13 case studies in this volume collectively cover a much broader historical and geographic range."L.M. Lewis, Choice DESCRIPTION (back to top) Taken together the essays in this work not only provide new research essential to the study of Islamic societies and Muslim peoples, but also set a new standard for the concrete study of local situations and illuminate the forces shaping the history of modern Muslim societies. This collection is unique in its sophisticated interpretation of the social protest and political resistance movements in Muslim countries during the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. The contributors take two principal approaches to the study of their subject. Utilizing "new cultural history," they explore how particular movements have deployed the cultural and religious resources of Islam to mobilize and legitimize insurgent political action. Others rely on "new social history" to study the economic, political, and social contexts in which movements of anti-colonial resistance and revolution have developed. This work brings together contributions from specialists on Islamic North Africa, Egypt, the Arab fertile crescent, Iran and India.

But they forgot Pennsylvania's heritage of democracy and citizen participation. A new backgrounder "Rights Fight: Local Democracy vs. Factory Farms in Pennsylvania," shows how the small communities targeted by these farms fought back, fending off the threat of polluting factory farms through the fighting spirit of civic participation.
