How does civic action provide possibilities in the search for new
alternatives to politics and political engagement?

This issue of Development, the quarterly journal of the Society for
International Development (SID), assesses the potential and unpacks the
myths around new modalities of mobilization including social media and
Occupy and other Tahrir-style public protests on social change.

The journal focuses around the question 'What should we make of the wave of
citizen action protests that swept the globe in 2011?' As the editorial
makes clear, civic action is moving away from institutional campaigns and
projects of the traditional meta movements. What are we to say at these new
actions of 'unruly politics' and mass mobilization fueled by social media
and drenched in revolutionary discourse. In an increasingly
(inter)connected world, political processes and the place of the citizen
within it are becoming more complex, amplifying the need for better
analytical frameworks and critical reflection on civic agency - much of
which is offered by the contributions to the journal.

This edition of Development, produced in partnership with Hivos, offers
innovative frameworks and penetrating case studies that enable deeper
reflection on the evolving role of citizens in global politics.
