SEPHIS Lecture Tour on Social Movements in the South by Dr. Evelina Dagnino



The Third World Studies (TWSC), together with South-South Exchange Programme for Research on the History of Development (SEPHIS) and UP Department of Political Science, would like to invite you to the UP TWSC-SEPHIS lecture tour on Social Movements in the South. The idea of the lecture tour is to establish connec tions between different research traditions and networks in the South. This programme enables universities in the South to invite established scholars from another part of the South, representing a specific historical school or scholarly approach, to give one or a few lectures. During his or her tour the scholar can meet colleagues and advanced students, advise on academic programmes, and explore the possibilities for collaborative research.

Evelina Dagnino is Professor of Political Science at the University of Campinas (Unicamp), Brazil. She has a PhD in political science from Stanford University, USA. She has been a visiting professor in the United States, at Yale University, and at the University of Göteborg, Sweden; Member of the Centre Advisory Review Group for the Development Research Centre on Citizenship, University of Sussex, UK; and Chair of the Citizenship, Rights and Social Justice Track of the Latin American Studies Association. Dr. Dagnino has published extensively on the relationships between culture and politics, social movements, civil society and participation, democracy and citizenship.

Theorizing Social Movements in Southeast Asia

TWSC 30th Anniversary Lecture Series on Social Movements in the South

Vincent Boudreau
Associate Professor and Chair, Department of Political Science
City College of New York, USA

2 March 2007, 10:00-11:30 a.m.
Asian Center Conference Hall
Romulo Hall
University of the Philippines
Diliman, Quezon City

This talk proposes an approach to the comparative study of social movements that incorporates the conditions of under-developed, repressive, poorly institutionalized, or deeply impoverished settings into the analysis. Where political institutions are less established, where protest more likely encounters repression (rather than organizational routines) and where public policy making processes do not allocate most state resources or activity, social movements feed on distinct triggers, develop different laws of motion, and pursue different objectives than those commonly assumed in established theory. The talk suggests a strategy for identifying systematic variation in the parameters of social movements, and then illustrates these ideas with consideration of contemporary Southeast Asian, and especially Philippine, protest. In the end, the talk seeks a way toward a more broadly integrated approach to the study of protest and political contention.


ABOUT THE SERIES

The Third World Studies Center Lecture Series on Social Movements in the South interrogates the relations of contention and collective action to democracy in contemporary history. It focuses especially on movements in the South, using a variety of cases of recent national and cross-border mobilization and protest. The series will address the following questions:Are social movements in the South agents of democratization? How do social movements contribute to (or hinder) the democratization process in various spheres (local, regional, and transnational)? How do deepening interstate relations affect social movement politics? What role do Southern social movements play in the wider global political arena? Are social movements in the South always engaged in contentious politics? How do they interact within the boundaries of institutional politics? Given the present historical conjuncture, what lies ahead for social movements in the South?
