Abstract

This chapter explains the aims and scope of the volume and provides the theoretical background. It outlines the emergence of participatory democracy as a cross-cutting theme across non-Western social movements, framed around three concepts that appear ubiquitous across different settings: real participation, social justice, and dignity. This chapter argues that outcome-based approaches to social movements fail to adequately explain the non-Western context. Instead, the focus should be on the transformative potential of social movements and their gains in promoting broad-based political participation as a viable alternative. Finally, it gives a brief summary of the volume’s organization.
