Description
co-organised with Dr. Tom Davies (City University London) and Dr. Holly Ryan (University of Sheffield)
This workshop brings together scholars from diverse backgrounds to examine the evolving relationship between global protests, democracy, and inequalities since 2011. In light of the limited achievements of the Arab Spring and other pro-democracy movements, the workshop seeks to examine and unpack arguments that these protests represent both a new phase and new prospects for mobilization. The workshop engages with new theoretical and methodological perspectives and illuminates novel aspects of transnational social movement dynamics, such as the evolving role of ICTs, deterritorialisation and government counter-responses.
