Peace Through Encounters and Education

Abstract

Social movements are always extremely ‘fluid’ and usually quite unstructured in the ordinary sense of the word. Nevertheless, as noted earlier, they manifest themselves in fairly distinct movement organisations. These have recognisable ideologies, modes of organisation and links between themselves. The MOs share common long-term goals (in this case opposition to the occupation and a willingness to negotiate territories for peace); yet, at the same time, they remain independent from one another, being unable to reach agreement on fundamental issues.
