Recent Developments

Recent developments in social movement research have evidenced a greater underlying consensus in the field than one might have assumed. Efforts have been made to bridge different perspectives and merge them into a new synthesis. Yet, comparative discussion of the concept of ‘social movement’ has been largely neglected so far. This article reviews and contrasts systematically the definitions of ‘social movement’ formulated by some of the most influential authors in the field. A substantial convergence may be detected between otherwise very different approaches on three points at least. Social movements are defined as networks of informal interactions between a plurality of individuals, groups and/or organizations, engaged in political or cultural conflicts, on the basis of shared collective identities. It is argued that the concept is sharp enough a) to differentiate social movements from related concepts such as interest groups, political parties, protest events and coalitions; b) to identify a specific area of investigation and theorising for social movement research.

Health Social Movements

<p>The aim of the present paper is to map the territory<br />of health social movements and to examine<br />the demands they make as well as the<br />factors that contributed in their emergence<br />and strengthening. The increasing scientization<br />of decision-making process in the exercise<br />of health policy and the dominant role of<br />medical authority and power in doctor-patient<br />relationship constituted two important points<br />on which the criticism and contest of these<br />movements focused. The basic working hypothesis<br />is that health social movements call<br />into question the primacy and infallibility of<br />the orthodox medicine, which is based on the<br />dominant biomedical model in western societies<br />and challenge the institutional and cultural<br />framework of health policy formation.</p>
