Abstract:
This issue will focus on processes and mechanisms of the making and unmaking of alliances among different grassroots, civil society, and social movement organizations. The formation of alliances is a key principle and basic mechanism of mobilization and the emergence of social movements. Social movement scholars tend to neglect that the making and breaking of coalitions are embedded in broader dynamics of societal fragmentation and convergence. We understand the politics of alliances as a process in which decisions about friends and foes are made and where increased attachment toward one’s group helps to consolidate the constituency and create a feeling of belonging, but also accentuates antagonism and conflict structures in society, crystallizing interests into opposing fractions. Social movements may foster ideological alignment and belonging with some actors while creating more ideological distance towards others–thereby shaping the overall structure of societal relations. The special issue looks at how alliance formation interacts with the (re-)making of social boundaries and identities, addresses the consequences alliance formation can have across levels and contexts, looks into cases where alliances fail or dissolve, and thus addresses the consequences of (un)making alliances.
Keywords:
Alliances; coalitions; grassroots movements; social movement organizations (SMOS)
