Political movement
A political movement is a social movement that tries to achieve political goals.
A political movement can be organized around a single point or have a broader agenda. In contrast to a political party , a political movement is not about getting members of the movement to be elected to government offices. Instead, it tries to convince citizens in general or certain sections of the population of their goals. Some political movements also want to convince governments of their goals in order to enforce concrete measures such as laws etc., while more radical movements reject this. The latter in particular often develop into ideologies .
A political movement can be local, regional, national, or international. Classic examples include liberalism and nationalism , abolitionism , anarchism , the women's suffrage movements , the labor movement , the universal suffrage movements , the anti-colonialist movements and the peace movement . Recent examples include the international human rights movement, the second wave of feminism (since the 1960s), the ecology movement , the gay movement , the disability movement , MoveOn.org in the US , the Ratana movement in New Zealand, Sinn Féin in Ireland, the Anti-globalization movement and the Provo movement in the Netherlands.
