Inhalt
In recent years, an increasing number of global citizens’ movements have taken “justice” as their explicit goal. This has been accompanied by a proliferation of protest actions that seek to reconfigure the way power, agency and resistance are being perceived and performed. Protest movements in different parts of the world evoke promises of radical political change through shaming powerful states and international institutions into good behavior. However, spaces of resistance themselves produce exclusions thereby complicating any easy understanding of power, agency and vulnerability. In this class we will simultaneously engage with scholarship on civil society and public spheres as well as focus on examples of new social movements globally. The effort will be to understand the link between democratization, social movement activism and international civil society action.
