> Description: Call for Papers for the two day workshop (August 28-29) 
"Social Movements, Resistance and Social Change in New Zealand".
>
>
> Recent years have witnessed a revival of public protest and 
resistance against businesses and governments. Around the world 
unpopular governments and corporations have faced angry protest, 
concerted criticism and direct challenges to operations and processes. 
In New Zealand, for example, over the recent summer, oil exploration 
company Anadarko faced off against a small fleet of protests off the 
Piha and Raglan Coast and the Government minister and officials faced 
street protests over the secretive trade talks. In other locations of 
course, other governments and corporations have faced more direct 
resistance. In France, for example, groups of tire and machine company 
workers Boss-napped as a mean of leverage on pay conditions, but more 
broadly political protest season have emerged in European and other 
regions as well in recent years. All this has again raised academic 
question about the nature, dynamics and impact of social movements.
>
>
> This workshop invites papers and other contributions that address 
these questions with respect to New Zealand contexts and events.
>
>
> The workshop will be based on understanding common patterns of action 
within social movements and how recent social movements in New Zealand 
may bring us new innovations and social change opportunities on behalf 
of responsibility, sustainability and social equality. We believe this 
will be the first step to build up a research network on the basis of 
Social Movements in New Zealand.
