How do civil society organizations mobilize on climate change? Why
do they choose certain strategies over others? What are the
consequences of these choices? Networks in Contention examines how
the interactions between different organizations within the
international climate change movement shape strategic decisions and
the kinds of outcomes organizations are able to achieve. First, it
documents how and why cleavages emerged in this once-unified
movement around the time of the 2009 Copenhagen Summit. Second, it
shows how an organization's position in the movement's network has
a large influence on the tactics it adopts. Finally, it
demonstrates how the development of new strategies within this
network has influenced the trajectory of global climate politics.
The book establishes the ways in which networks are consequential
for civil society groups, exploring how these actors can become
more effective and suggesting lessons for the future coordination
of activism.
