Description: | |||||||
Contemporary political events, from Occupy Wall Street to fierce clashes at the Maidan, suggest that it is becoming increasingly difficult to understand the development of political regimes without analysing the circumstances, modes and outcomes of non-institutional civic action. The goal of this course is to introduce students to the analysis of a wide spectrum of contentious politics. The concept "contentious politics" stands for a diverse array of collective political action, which apart from social movements includes episodic contention such as demonstrations and strikes as well as more far-reaching events such as civil wars and revolutions - but always with a focus on how they interact with political institutions and the political process more broadly (Tarrow 2013). Protest actions are analysed within a comparative politics framework, with the objective of deepening our understanding of their effects on political parties, electoral strategies, public policies as well as political participation and democratisation more broadly. |
