Chapter 3 discusses the history, structure, and processes of the International Labour Organization and its groundbreaking inclusion of domestic workers in the policymaking process. It examines the revolutionary nature of activist groups’ alignment to determine policy protections for some of the world’s most marginalized populations. Domestic workers came to the ILO as the first “actual workers” to participate in the crafting of policy outcomes that would determine protections for their occupation. The chapter describes the tensions and opportunities that arose as activists engaged with the world’s longest-standing global labor institution, and the social movement strategies that emerged when domestic workers sought influence within this global policy institution.

Insight Into

Professor Takeshi Kohno, from Toyo Eiwa University in Japan, has a particular interest in how an idea of Salafism can travel to South East Asia and become an important part of lives of people far from its origin. Kohno is leading a project that seeks to analyse how Salafism turns into social movement and how this social movement is institutionalised in education institutions. In particular, he along with the team of researchers in Indonesia, Malaysia, and the Philippines are analysing the dissemination processes of Salafism into school system in these countries. By identifying transformational agents such as the state and its bureaucrats as well as religious teachers, Kohno and his colleagues hope to gain insight into this religious school of thought and how it has become established in Indonesia, Malaysia and the Philippines.

This article discusses contentious politics and social movements, specifically during the Philippines' turmoil of January 2001. It first defines ‘contentious politics’, and then relates it to social movement. It identifies the many ways of studying the dynamics of contention and ends with a study of democracy, violence, and several questions of the future of social movements.
