INTL 210 - International Social Movements and Revolution in the Modern World

Semester Offered: Fall
1 unit(s)
Why have forms of protest, once common—grain riots, social banditry, and nomadic raiding—generally declined while strikes, demonstrations and terrorist bombings have all increased? Why do some social movements express collective grievances through demonstrations and rallies while others turn to suicide bombings? What is a revolution and how would we know one if we saw it? What is the future of social movements and revolutions in an age of globalization? Using the work of historians but also of anthropologists and sociologists this course examines social movements and revolution from the urban artisans of the French revolution who supported the Terror to peaceful demonstrators in modern day Argentina. We will explore how the identity, goals, and techniques of popular contention have changed over the last two centuries. Mr. Hanagan.

Two 75-minute periods.

Not offered in 2013/14.
