>> Description
>> The Scuola Normale Superiore in Pisa announces a selection, based on work to date and interview, for a research contract named “Social movements and socio-economic structures” on the following project: “Democracy, Participation and Social Movements”.
>> Social movement studies have paid insufficient attention to the relation between the socio-economic structures  and contentious politics. The recent citizens' mobilizations against financial crises and austerity policies around the world pointed at the influence of the relations between states and markets, politics and the economy on the protests’ forms and breath. Within this frame, the research activities which are the object of this grant should focus on the development of a theoretically innovative model, and its empirical implementation in a comparative analysis of  the political economy of protest. Research activities will therefore include:
>> a)      An analysis of the literature on social movements and socio-structural change;
>> b)      The selection of empirical cases to be analysed among social movements that address relevant topics in relations to the evolution of markets and welfare, as well as their effects on citizenship rights;
>> c)      Selection of research methods, with ideally a triangulation of qualitative and quantitative methods;
>> d)     Implementation of the empirical research;
>> e)      Writing of a research report.
>> The selected candidate will participate in the activities of the recently established PhD in political science and sociology, in particular in its area on democracy, participation and social movements.
