| Title | EMERGENCE OF SOCIAL MOVEMENTS: A COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS OF ANTI-CORRUPTION MOVEMENTS IN INDIA AND INDONESIA |
| Summary | This paper examines the broad determinants of emergence of ‘national’ social movements. Particularly, it investigates the factors that facilitate the emergence of a movement in a given nation, and contrariwise compel its pulverization and non-existence in another nation, despite the similitude of their sociocultural, political and economic contexts. This is done using the methodology of comparative analysis, explicating the contrasting emergence of the national anti-corruption movements in the countries of India and Indonesia, using the ‘most similar’ research design. . The main findings of the investigation result in an affirmation of its hypothesis conjecturing the central role of certain ‘nation-specific’ factors for explaining the differential emergence of social movements in the two nations. The paper identifies 'a high degree of political consciousness, unity in leadership, active and committed role of civil society organizations, access to resources, and social alliances cutting across class cleavages' as some key ‘nation-specific’ factors. |
