    THE DYNAMICS of the DEMOBILIZATION of the PROTEST CAMPAIGN in ASSAM Tijen Demirel-Pegg Indiana University-Purdue University Indi

    THE DYNAMICS OF THE DEMOBILIZATION OF THE PROTEST CAMPAIGN IN ASSAM Tijen Demirel-Pegg Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis Abstract: This study highlights the role that critical events play in the demobilization of protest campaigns. Social movement scholars suggest that protest campaigns demobilize as a consequence of polarization within the campaign or the cooptation of the campaign leaders. I offer critical events as an alternative causal mechanism and argue that protest campaigns in ethnically divided societies are particularly combustible as they have the potential to trigger unintended or unorchestrated communal violence. When such violence occurs, elite strategies change, mass support declines and the campaign demobilizes. An empirical investigation of the dynamics of the demobilization phase of the anti-foreigner protest campaign in Assam, India between 1979 and 1985 confirms this argument. A single group analysis is conducted to compare the dynamics of the campaign before and after the communal violence by using time series event data collected from The Indian Express, a national newspaper. The study has wider implications for the literature on collective action as it illuminates the dynamic and complex nature of protest campaigns.

    “Sustainable Tourism- a Tool for Development”

    WORLD TOURISM DAY- 2017 “Sustainable Tourism- a Tool for Development” #TravelEnjoyRespect DEPARTMENT OF BUSINESS ADMINISTRATION -TEZPUR UNIVERSITY- UTTARAN- 2017 SPECIAL EDITION FOREWORD Dr. Papori Baruah, Professor and Head Department of Business Administration, Tezpur University I am greatly pleased that the students have come out with yet another edition of ‘Uttaran’ coinciding with the ‘World Tourism Day’. I congratulate the students and the faculty for this effort. The theme Sustainable Tourism is indeed very apt in present day context. We have seen several destinations in the world creating havoc to the environment and the artefacts by unplanned management of tourism activities. This has happened to the snow-capped mountains of the Himalayas to seaside destinations of Thailand. Hence, we must relook at our tourism strategies to conserve the pristine beauty of nature and preserve the heritage for future. We need to shift our focus from gaining mere economic benefit through exploitation of resources to sustainability. I am sure that the articles published in ‘Uttaran’ will at least try to usher some change in the mind-set of the readers. Best wishes.
