Social Movements

Social movements can be seen as key drivers of social transformation. Latin America during the period of the progressive governments’ post 2000 can be seen as a laboratory to study social movements in actions. We examine some of the salient women’s, indigenous and labor movements also the human rights movements. They all pose a social logic against the prevailing market logic. The notion that ‘another world is possible’ is also critically examined to see if it can go beyond a rhetorical device to an actually implementable strategy for social movements.
