Social Movements and Resistance: Movements for Social Change and Political Freedom (3 in 1)

This book consists of three titles:

- The Rise and Fall of Imperial Powers: Imperialism has shaped the course of world history, influencing politics, economics, culture, and warfare across centuries. At its core, imperialism refers to the policy or ideology by which a state extends its rule over other territories, often through military conquest, economic dominance, or political influence. Empires have risen and fallen throughout history, leaving behind legacies that continue to shape modern societies. This chapter explores the fundamental characteristics of imperialism, its driving forces, and its historical significance.

- The Anarchist Movement: Anarchism, as both a philosophy and a political movement, seeks to abolish hierarchical structures of power, particularly the state, and promote a society based on voluntary cooperation, mutual aid, and self-governance. The term “anarchy” is often misunderstood and associated with chaos or disorder, but in the context of anarchism, it refers to the absence of coercive authority, not lawlessness. Anarchism challenges the legitimacy of centralized governments, institutions, and systems that perpetuate inequality and domination, advocating instead for decentralized, egalitarian forms of social organization.

- Populism and Democracy: Populism, as a political phenomenon, has seen a significant resurgence in recent decades, challenging both traditional political structures and the established norms of democratic governance. It is a term often used to describe political movements or leaders who claim to represent "the people" against a corrupt or out-of-touch elite. The central tenet of populism lies in its rhetoric, which typically divides society into two antagonistic groups: the virtuous, ordinary people and the corrupt, self-serving elite.
