Brands, has accepted the Coalition of Immokalee Worker's (CIW) demands for a penny a pound increase in the price they pay for tomatoes. Taco Bell further pledged to work with the CIW to improve wages and working conditions for farm workers in the Florida tomato industry. With this new agreement, the CIW is ending its "Boycott the Bell" campaign. "This is an important victory for farmworkers, one that establishes a new standard of social responsibility for the fast-food industry and makes an immediate material change in the lives of workers. This sends a clear challenge to other industry leaders," said Lucas Benitez, a leader of the Coalition of Immokalee Workers. Read More...

The facts don't speak for themselves, however, so the section on theory presents various theoretical perspectives used in interpreting social movements. Check out the archives section for topical and thematic links. Searchable sites from around the world are included in the section called engines. In the "material manifestations" section, you will find online galleries and museums, and links related to social movements.

    Extractions: Spring 1997 This course is designed to acquaint you with the field of Social Movements, broadly defined. We begin with a brief look at the origins of the field and early theories and then go on to systematically cover the major theoretical approaches to social movements along with some empirical applications of those theories. COURSE REQUIREMENTS Seminar Participation Research Paper Due June 9 by 10AM (No extensions under normal circumstances) The term paper is to use two or more of the theoretical approaches to social movements covered in class to analyze a social movement of your choice. It is expected that students will conduct research on the movement, pose a problem/issue that is central to it, and write an intelligent essay that juxtaposes how the various approaches would analyze it. It is essential that the essays be argued from students own perspective. In other words, make it clear which perspective you think is best and why. I have assigned John Lofland s Social Movement Organizations , which is a guide to research on social movements. This book will help you get started on your research papers.

    Extractions: Mondays, 12:00-2:50 Course Objectives: In this course, we will engage with some of the large theoretical debates in the study of social movements, reading both empirical treatments of particular movements and theoretical treatments of key issues. We will be particularly concerned with the social and political context of protest, focusing on basic questions, such as: under what circumstances do social movements emerge? how do dissidents choose political tactics and strategies?; and, how do movements affect social and political change? By the end of the quarter, students should have sufficient mastery of the theoretical literature to ground their own research. Short papers 40%

The first section of this intriguing volume examines this phenomenon in depth while also moving theory-building forward. Significant contributions are made to collective identity theory, stalemate theory, and political process theory. This volume's concentration on political opportunity and social movements is accomplished through a focused series of papers that include case studies of specific social movements, comparative case studies of social movements, and comparative case studies of transnational issue networks. The movements discussed include the US anti-nuclear power movement, the Rastafarians, the alternative and complimentary medicine movement, indigenous rights movements in Panama and Brazil, the animal rights movement, the anti-apartheid movement in South Africa, and the housing reform movements in post-Soviet Union Moscow and Budapest.

World Social Forum 2004 POLITICAL DIVERSITY, COMMON PURPOSE At the risk of sounding repetitive, one needs to reassert that the methodological problem of identifying and defining a social movement is fairly difficult. The problem becomes particularly complex when we focus on the Asian region. Given its multi-ethnic, multi-lingual and multi-political reality, the bewildering multiplicity and diversity of social movements in the region should not come as a great surprise. After all, social movements necessarily must, and firmly are embedded in the social, cultural and political realities of a nation. Where as a description of the movements is a matter of information collection and a systematic presentation of such information, an analysis of the embedded ness and linkages of the movements with wider socio-political processes is a very difficult and long-term task, particularly for the Asian region. Apart from being complex, the region is also so vast that to capture its variety in a single article is quite impossible. Accordingly this paper shall try to convey an essence of such complexities by focussing on social movements in India, assuming of course that much of the general aspects of the analysis are extendable to other areas of the Asian region too.

    Extractions: Latin America is undergoing a new phase of social reactivation whose agenda includes global issues and social actors who seek to break out of the isolation of their specific struggles. Under this tonic, networks and coordinating bodies have proliferated (among peasants, indigenous people, women, African descendents, popular urban communities, among others), that are appropriating the Internet to intercommunicate, coordinate and disseminate their actions and proposals. This involves endeavours to deepen their understanding of the logic behind it, so as to reap fuller benefits. The first part of this book explores the debate regarding the Internet, seeking to locate more precisely what is at stake in this environment, as a prerequisite to thinking of strategies. The second part presents a survey of how the organizations involved in the Web Community of Social Movements are incorporating the Internet into their practice, looking at utilization and benefits, motivations and perceptions, social-organizational and communicational implications.

He contributed this article from Cairo.) For background on political ferment in Egypt, see Mona El-Ghobashy, “ Egypt Looks Ahead to Portentous Year ,” February 2, 2005. President Husni Mubarak’s unexpected announcement that Article 76 of the Egyptian constitution will be amended to permit a direct and competitive vote in the September presidential election has captured the attention of the international and local media and political classes. The substance of the proposed constitutional amendment, announced on February 26, remains undetermined. While the president will not run unopposed in a single-party referendum, as he has done on four previous occasions, a multi-party contest might not end his 24-year rule. Past multi-party elections for the parliament have been plagued by voter intimidation, fraud and other dirty tricks intended to pad the ruling National Democratic Party’s majority.
