Civil disturbances and social change : a comparative analysis of the United States and Curacao.
Material type:
TextLanguage: ENG Publication details: SEP 1976Description: 20 pSubject: This paper suggests that: (1) civil disturbances, such as those which occured in the United States and Curacao, are capable of producing change in society because they are either themselves social movements or part of larger movements; (2) in their drive for change, such protest movements are aided by support movements, i.e., organized efforts by other groups in society to facilitate the reforms called for by the protestors, and are limited by countermovements, i.e. organized social control efforts; (3) the differential success of the protest movements in the two societies can be largely attributed to differences in the protest movements themselves and their potential support base, and the countermovement or social control capacity of the societies.
