Social Movements and Political Polarisation
RPA Conflict & Society roundtable discussion
In recent decades, we’ve seen a rise in political polarization and social divisions in many parts of the world. We also see vibrant social movements trying to tackle inequalities and build transnational and intersectional solidarities such as Ni Una Menos in Latin America, Black Lives Matter, and Palestinian solidarity. But do these social movements bridge divides or deepen societal rifts?
