Özet:

The second half of the twentieth century has witnessed many transformations in the political and social field in terms of the appearance of many critical theories derived from the status of "post" whether to be questioned by modernism. The centralistic, one-type, unbearable, rigorous rules of modernism have been prompted in many ways. In the political sphere, the ideology’s commitment to the organization of the class phenomenon in the social sphere has been weakened. The fact that these transformations have led to social movements has emerged in social sciences a phenomenon called "new social movements". This study aims to be able to make an assessment of why social movements after the decades of expiration are called "new" after the discovery of the concept of social movement. First, what the concept of "social movement" means; second, the historical framework of the emergence of new social movements; third, what is "new" in these movements; and last, the example movements that can be assessed in this framework.
