Movement and Collective Action Networks

Abstract

Over nearly two decades, we have witnessed significant waves of mobilization and contention, particularly in the aftermath of the 2008 financial crisis. This panel aims to explore how movements and collective actors have adapted their network structures, action repertoires, and strategies in response to evolving social, economic, political, and environmental challenges. By capturing the macro-micro networked nature of collective action, we will investigate the dynamics of collaboration and interconnection among groups and individuals engaged in contentious politics, encompassing a broad range of action forms, including social activism.
