Abstract

People's movements have been viewed as possible ways in which people's participation or empowerment of the marginalised may be achieved. This paper, through a review of literature and using the metaphor of space, explores the role of mediating factors between people's movements and participation. The presence and the relationship of people's movements with the state, political parties, support groups, and transnational networks create the enabling environment in which popular spaces may be enlarged. Using illustrations of movements in India, Brazil, and Mexico it has been seen that, through enlargement of popular spaces, a social movement can achieve participation.
