Social Movement
Constitutes a break in consciousness that leads to political mobilization, usually outside the framework of the state and the established parties and interest groups.
(Warren Magnusson, 1996, 74-94.; Pal, 2006, p. 274.)
------------------------
Magnusson (1996, 74-94) defines social movement as having a goal, a strong ideological commitment and some enemy. Social movements are shaped by the broader set of political constraints and opportunities unique to the national context in which they are embedded.
Pal (2006, p. 274) states that a social movement is an informal network of organizations and individuals who, on the basis of a collective identity and shared values, engage in political and/or cultural struggle intended to break or expand the boundaries of the existing system, and undertake collective action designed to affect both stare and society.
