It is widely recognized that social movements may spread - or
'diffuse' - from one site to another. Such diffusion, however, is a
complex and multidimensional process that involves different
actors, networks, and mechanisms. This complexity has spawned a
large body of literature on different aspects of the diffusion
process, yet a comprehensive framework remains an elusive target.
This book is a response to that need, and its framework focuses on
three basic analytical questions. First, what is being diffused?
Second, how does diffusion occur? Finally, what is the impact of
diffusion on organizational development and shifts in the scale of
contentious politics? This volume suggests that diffusion is not a
simple matter of political contagion or imitation; rather, it is a
creative and strategic process marked by political learning,
adaptation, and innovation.
