THE ULTIMATE SACRIFICE: A COMPARATIVE STUDY OF SELF-IMMOLATION AS A TACTIC OF POLITICAL PROTEST IN INDIA AND SOUTH KOREA Sean Goff April 19,2013 In recent years, self-immolation has become a pervasive tactic of political protest. To this point, however, it has been unclear why self-immolation has become so widely employed, calling into question the social and political efficacy of the tactic. The purpose of this thesis is to determine self-immolation's impact on three target groups: the core, the periphery, and the political system. In doing so, I conduct a comparative study ofIndia's anti-reservation movement and South Korea's prodemocracy movement, both of which experienced high frequencies of self-immolation. I demonstrate that while selfimmolation was ineffective at mobilizing the core and only moderately effective at mobilizing the periphery and initiating political change, in South Korea, self-immolation was highly effective on all three groups. I argue that the differences in efficacy can be attributed to variations in social structure, political culture, issue diffusion, and institutional access to the political system.

The ultimate sacrifice : a comparative study of self-immolation as a tactic of political protest in India and South Korea.
