“…Josephine Lukito, Zhe Cui, An Hu, Taeyoung Lee, and João V. S. Ozawa (2022) open this thematic issue by exploring whether some states use and aggravate political polarization to their advantage. Using a combination of quantitative data from different sources, the authors study governments' responses to pro-democracy and proindependence protesters in young and non-democracies in East and Southeast Asia.…”

In a world of polarized societies and radical voices hogging the public digital sphere, this thematic issue aims at identifying the different strategies of old and new social movements in the extremes of the political debates by focusing on the interplay between polarization, uses of the internet, and social activism. In order to disentangle these interactions, this thematic issue covers a wide range of political settings across the globe. It does so by studying: (a) how opposing activists discuss politics online and its implications for democratic theory; (b) how social media uses and online discussions foster offline protests; (c) how the media and state-led-propaganda frame disruptive and anti-government offline protests and how this situation contributes to polarization in both democratic and non-democratic regimes; and finally (d) how civil society uses digital tools to organize and mobilize around sensitive issues in non-democratic regimes.

“…(Tran, 2023) revealed that the need for protection and validation of the actions of activists fighting for democracy can indirectly affect the ongoing participation of activists. (Lukito, Cui, Hu, Lee, & Ozawa, 2022) Shows that in dealing with protests through social media, the Tatmadaw carried out propaganda such as spreading false election claims and trapping the Tatmadaw with a bastion of democracy. Tatmadaw propaganda negatively framed the protesters as rioters, rebels, and even terrorists.…”

Penelitian ini dilatarbelakangi oleh penggulingan pemerintah sipil Myanmar oleh junta militer pada 1 Februari 2021. Setelah kudeta militer, jutaan warga sipil melakukan demonstrasi damai di seluruh negeri dan memprotes kembalinya pemerintahan sipil yang terpilih secara demokratis. Penolakan komunitas pro demokrasi terhadap kudeta militer memunculkan gerakan masyarakat sipil di Myanmar yang bertujuan untuk memulihkan demokrasi di Myanmar. Penelitian ini bersifat kualitatif dan menggunakan metode deskriptif. Dalam penelitian ini, penulis menjelaskan model gerakan masyarakat sipil di Myanmar pasca kudeta militer yang terjadi pada tahun 2021. Data yang digunakan penulis adalah data sekunder. Hasil kajian menemukan bahwa kudeta militer 2021 berujung pada gerakan bottom-up oleh Civil Disobedience Movement (CDM) dan gerakan top-down oleh People Defense Force (PDF). Meski keduanya memiliki perbedaan asal, pola gerakan, dan jenis gerakan, CDM dan PDF tetap memiliki tujuan yang sama: menolak kudeta militer dan memulihkan demokrasi di Myanmar.Kata kunci: CDM, PDF, Myanmar, Gerakan Masyarakat Sipil

Outsider From Within, Insider From Without: Negotiating Researcher Positionality in Comparative Social Research

Researchers conducting fieldwork, especially in comparative social research, face the complex issue of conceptualizing and practicing positionality. How we position ourselves affects the research approach, the interpretation of the data and, therefore, the whole research process. This paper discusses my own in-between or ‘in-out-sider’ positionality during my fieldwork studying the experience of youths in social movements in Thailand and Myanmar in 2020 and 2021. Drawing on data from a visit to Thailand and interviews with 40 Myanmar and Thai youths who participated in the movements, this article documents my experience of the subtle nuances of multiple positionalities and how I navigated through the fieldwork as an in-out-sider researcher. In this comparative context, especially, I believe that my in-out-sider positionality facilitated the research process, from interviewing participants to conducting the field visit. The discussion of this contextually situated positionality challenges the typical explanations of the insider/outsider dichotomy, suggesting the need for a rethinking of certain aspects of this explanation, such as the background and experience of the researcher, and the context in which the researcher and the researched interact. This paper therefore contributes to knowledge around this subject and its application, particularly in the context of comparative social research which studies specific groups of youth activists or protestors.
