Social movements are interactive components of a world currently in the process of rapid transformation. Social movements represent either a single social movement or a generic term that comprises of a number of separate social movements. Social movements against neo-liberal forms of globalization are novel because of the significant participation of citizens from the developed and other advanced industrialized countries. Social movements serve as critical response of individuals and groups and directly attack global capital’s economic and political infrastructure with radically democratic politics and a strategy of confrontation. The paper attempts to provide a broad framework for understanding social movements in the context of challenges posed by globalization. This paper traces the complexities and potential for change inherent in a new wave of social movements concerned with the contemporary process of development and globalization.
