movements. It explains characteristics and theories related to social movements. The temporal dimension (from the precolonial period,
colonization period and post-cold war period) and the spatial (including Europe and Asia) in the formation of various social movements is
scrutinized. Case studies of labour, women, human rights, democratic and new religious movements will be examined to highlight the state
of human rights violations and role of social movements to demand for reforms in the region. The achievements and challenges of social
movements as agents of social change will be examined by linking to contemporary human rights situations in Southeast Asia as well as the
global waves of change such as the Arab Spring and various other political tsunamis.
