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 - more volatile and politicized - while
movements are more likely to borrow strategies from organizations.
Organization theory and social movement theory are two of the most
vibrant areas within the social sciences. This collection of
original essays and studies both calls for a closer connection
between these fields and demonstrates the value of this
interchange. Three introductory, programmatic essays by leading
scholars in the two fields are followed by eight empirical studies
that directly illustrate the benefits of this type of
cross-pollination. The studies variously examine the processes by
which movements become organized and the role of movement processes
within and among organizations. The topics covered range from
globalization and transnational social movement organizations to
community recycling programs.
