“…Young people's participation in environmental politics and activism is not new. Yet systematic reviews of the literature suggests youth participation in protest movements has been surprisingly under-researched in political science (Martiskainen et al, 2020;Weiss, 2020;Barrie, 2021). Existing studies suggest an individual's propensity to participate in protest is influenced by; "availability", both biographical and structural, and experiences of political engagement, (for example see Schussman and Soule, 2005;Opp, 2009;de Moor and Verhaegen, 2020), and that participation may vary within and between cultural contexts as issues of gender, region, age and institutional power intersect to influence youth activists in complex ways (Martyn and Dimitra, 2019).…”

This article examines youth participation the school climate strikes of 2018 and 2019 (also known as #Fridays4Future), through an exploratory study conducted in seven diverse cities. Despite the international nature of the climate strikes, we know little about the factors that influenced youth participation in these protests beyond the global North. This matters because youth of the global South are disproportionately impacted by climate change and there is growing concern that the climate movement is dominated by narratives that marginalize the voices and priorities of Indigenous communities and people of color. In this context, the exploratory research reported here aimed to compare the attitudes of climate protesters (n = 314) and their non-protester peers (n = 1,217), in diverse city samples drawn from a wider study of children and youth aged 12–24 years, living in Christchurch (New Zealand); Dhaka (Bangladesh); Lambeth, London (United Kingdom); Makhanda (South Africa); New Delhi (India); São Paulo (Brazil); and Yokohama (Japan). Using cross-sectional data (N = 1,531) and binary logistic regression models, researchers examined three common explanations for youth participation in protest: availability (biographical and structural), political engagement (reported individual and collective efficacy of strikers and non-strikers), and self-reported biospheric values amongst participants. Results indicate that even in diverse city samples, structural availability (civic skills and organizational membership) predicted strike participation across city samples, but not political engagement (self-efficacy and collective efficacy). Youth who reported that ‘living in harmony with nature and animals’ was important for their wellbeing, were also more likely to strike than their peers. Descriptive statistics indicated that the majority (85 percent) of all protestors in this study agreed climate change was a serious issue and a startling 65 percent said that they think about climate change “all the time”. Reported rates of youth climate protest participation varied across city samples as did the extent to which participants reported having friends take part or expecting climate change to have a personal impact. While the study is exploratory, it points to the need for more extensive research to understand the diversity of youth participation in ‘global climate strikes’.

“…When relations between individuals do not go according to regulations as a consensus, then those who are considered inconsistent will receive social sanctions. In a structure (Barrie, 2021;Turner, 2019;Welch, Mandich, et al, 2020). This is a sign that individuals who carry out crematorium cremation have low intensity of social interaction, so when holding a cremation ceremony which incidentally requires a lot of social resources, they do not get a response from the local traditional village community.…”

Today, Ngaben as a cremation procession for the Hindu community in Bali is not only in the traditional form, but the cremation procession is also carried out in the crematorium. This transition or process becomes an interesting aspect, when studied sociologically. The purpose of this research is to analyze the background of the change, from the procedure for carrying out the traditional ngaben to the crematorium. ngaben .The method used in this research is quantitative-descriptive, with data collection processes in the form of questionnaires, interviews and observations. The questionnaire was used to determine the percentage of the Balinese Hindu community regarding the existence of traditional ngaben to the crematorium ngaben. Then, interviews were conducted with several respondents, with the aim of knowing the existence of traditional cremation and the transition to the implementation of crematorium cremation. Finally, observations were made with the aim of observing the existence of a crematorium in a traditional village. The recommendation from this study is that the procedure for carrying out cremation, whether carried out traditionally or in a crematorium, is a ceremonial activity that needs to be maintained. The procedure for carrying out the liturgy can be carried out according to the previous pattern, or following the current developments of the times, provided that essentially the meaning and philosophical aspects of this liturgy are not diminished. The change in the procedure for burning corpses in the Hindu community in Bali is caused by various factors, such as efficiency, solidarity and ecology. The two types of cremation, are still practiced by Balinese Hindus today.

“…A common thread in studies of European and American contexts is that, depending on the issue area, social protest tends to dampen or boost electoral support for political parties. Although social movements have mostly been left out of analyses of electoral change, a nascent body of literature shows the growing need to link social protest with electoral outcomes (Barrie 2021).…”

The way social protest affects electoral outcomes remains a lacuna. This article helps fill this gap by examining how social protest against far right actors affects their electoral standing. The article utilizes a unique dataset of 4,745 local protest events to investigate how mobilization against the far right in Greece affected its electoral performance. The article finds that protest activity depressed the electoral results of the far right Golden Dawn by as much as 16%, after controlling for a number of important variables. The article identifies and specifies the patterns through which protests against the far right affect its electoral standing. Protests are effective when following the “tango” pattern—when there is close interaction of far right and anti-far right events. The timing of protest is also important and the article shows how the synchronization of protest and electoral cycles affects electoral outcomes. The article uses the findings to discuss the varying impact of protest across electoral cycles.
