RC48 Social Movements, Collective Actions and Social Change (host committee) Language: English
This session aims to explore the dynamic interplay between radical democracy and contemporary social movements, particularly focusing on how these movements can foster new forms of citizenship and offer non-capitalist alternatives to the prevailing socio-economic structures.
We invite submissions that address, but are not limited to, the following themes:
- The theoretical underpinnings of radical democracy and their influence on social movements
- Case studies of contemporary social movements and their efforts to implement radical democratic principles
- The challenges and successes of anti-austerity and pro-democracy movements in the twenty-first century
- New expressions of citizenship and non-capitalist alternatives proposed by social movements
- The role of social movements in addressing the failures of liberal democracy
- Comparative analyses of social movements across different regions and their approaches to radical democracy.
We encourage submissions that offer empirical research, case studies, theoretical insights, and interdisciplinary perspectives.
