Social Movements and Organization Theory - Paperback

by Gerald Davis (Editor), Doug McAdam (Editor), W. Richard Scott (Editor)

Although the fields of organization theory and social movement theory have long been viewed as belonging to different worlds, recent events have intervened, reminding us that organizations are becoming more movement-like and volatile and politicized while movements are more likely to borrow strategies from organizations. Topics covered in this volume range from globalization and transnational social movement organizations to community recycling programs.
