Based on decades of research, this book explores global social change processes through the concepts of social change organisations (SCOs) and social change makers (SCMs) - the individuals working within and alongside SCOs.
The book delves into a vast array of compelling social justice issues, from tackling inequality to championing human rights, bridging the realms of social movement and third sector research.
Inspiring and empowering, this is essential reading for scholars, students, NGOs and activists alike.
