The course will address the following questions:
- Under which conditions does political protest emerge (structural preconditions, key factors for social mobilization, triggers)? Which results can it achieve?
- Which social groups are the main supporters of political protests (losers and/or relative winners of the system change after 1989/90)? When can coalitions between different groups be formed?
- Which forms of protest (demonstrations, online-activism, industrial action, protests as a spectacle) can be observed?
- Consequences of post-socialist transformation and political protest: Is there a specific Eastern European form of protest?Methods: required reading, group and plenary discussions, written assignments, presentationsLearning outcome: overview over the main questions, concepts and debates in research on social movements/political protests; ability to analyse independently a given protest phenomenon
