The workshop aims at bringing together scholars for a discussion on recent developments in social movement theory and research, continuing the discussion the RN had in Glasgow last September. In this light the Mid Term workshop represents an important opportunity to advance our understanding of social movement approaches through intensive debate among participants.
The workshop will address topical aspects of on-going reflection on social movements, like the impact of social movements on public policy, political procedures and political cultures in different contexts, as well as on individual activists. We are also interested in addressing broad questions on the effects of social movements on current conceptions of democracy, the contribution of SMOs to
public deliberation and in issues of coalition formation and networking in local and transnational spaces.
The workshop will start on Friday 10th at 9 am and will end on Saturday 11th at 1pm. Participation
will be limited to a maximum of 15 paper givers in order to allow enough space for discussion.
