▼ Agrifood scholars have described current Alternative Agrifood Movements (AAMs) as convergent efforts to challenge the status quo agrifood system that are nonetheless characterized by diverse foci which potentially limit their prospects to form a cohesive challenge. Organizations play a key role in mobilization processes, but a systematic empirical examination of the organizations that comprise AAMs and the specific ways they converge and diverge across many AAMs is lacking. Clarifying patterns of convergence and divergence in the AAM organizational field is a necessary step to understanding the mobilization potential of these movements. This research investigated how patterns of issue selection among a sample of U.S. national agrifood organizations (N=690) manifested convergence and diversity in an agrifood field that included both AAM organizations and their potential opponents. The research applied cluster analysis techniques to categorize the organizational field by the combination of issues an organization selected—or issue orientation—to demonstrate the diverse organizational perspectives on agrifood issues. These clusters corresponded to the mesomobilization potential of organizations with similar issue orientations, and comparison tests of resource capacity and strategy measures demonstrated variation across clusters. Negative binomial regression analyses modeled issue orientation as a predictor of a social movement outcome—gaining acceptance—that was operationalized as providing testimony on agrifood topics at Congressional hearings. Results showed that national agrifood organizations broadly fit into clusters of either Status Quo, AAM, or diet-related health/food security issue orientations. At a more fine-grain level, a second cluster solution demonstrated that AAMs and diet-related health/food security clusters were comprised of five distinct sub-clusters that revealed further patterns of issue diversity in the field, corresponding to varied resource levels and strategic approaches that characterized the mesomobilization potential of each cluster. Although in bivariate tests, Status Quo agrifood organizations were more likely than all other clusters to provide Congressional testimony in both cluster solutions, when controlling for resources and strategies, environmentally-focused AAM organizations were similar to Status Quo organizations in being significantly more likely than other sub-clusters to gain acceptance through Congressional hearings. This research developed a unique inventory of national agrifood organizations across a range of issues and demonstrated complex patterns of convergence and divergence among national-level agrifood organizations that can inform practitioner knowledge about their potential to work across diverse issues and gain access to political leaders.

▼ This is the first focused study of the Society of the Muslim Brotherhood, the most influential and organised social and political movement in Kuwait, from its beginnings in 1946up to2000. It focuses on the circumstances surrounding the emergence and development of the Muslim Brotherhood as part of a general Islamic revival in Kuwait. It argues that the Muslim Brotherhood was driven first and foremost by cultural considerations and that Kuwaiti secularists regarded it as a challenge to their growing influence in both the political domain (traditionally controlled by the ruling family) and the social domain (historically under the control of the religious establishment). The resulting conflict with secularists over the social domain posed a serious threat to the Muslim Brotherhood who considered themselves an extension of the traditional religious establishment. They also viewed the secularists’ attempts to reshape Kuwaiti identity as a threat to Kuwait’s Islamic identity. This prompted the Muslim Brotherhood to channel all their social, educational and political efforts towards reclaiming the social domain. This study focuses also on the mechanisms adopted by the Muslim Brotherhood, ones which combined Islamic values with modern mobilisation strategies producing a dynamic Islamist movement seeking to revive the golden age of Islam through modern means. The movement maintained a pyramid hierarchy and it refashioned modern economic theory to make it more compatible with Islamic teachings. It also established a Muslim Boy Scouts movement and an Islamic press, while it reformed other organisations to make them compatible with Islamic values. All this was done in an effort to implement Hasan al-Banna’s vision of fashioning a pious Muslim individual, a virtuous family and, finally, a true Muslim state. The Muslim Brotherhood’s comprehensive and sweeping agenda seeks the complete transformation of social conditions. The Muslim Brotherhood in Kuwait was not very different from its mother organisation in Egypt. It played a pioneering role in revising Islamic banking, developing charity work and challenging secularism. The Kuwaiti political system supported the Muslim Brotherhood in its struggle against secularists, but the Muslim Brotherhood nonetheless stayed out of politics, focusing on rehabilitating the social domain, in the interests of maintaining on good terms with the ruling family.

▼ Governments have done little to address poverty and homelessness despite awareness of the increasing number of people affected by these issues. Neoliberalizing processes and resulting federal and provincial social policy changes since the 1980s have driven the decimation of Canada’s welfare state and contributed to expanding inequalities that systematically privilege a wealthy few at the expense of the balance of Canadians, particularly those living in poverty. Collective resistances may be the best available and most powerful tool people in poverty, including those who experience homelessness, possess to challenge government policy directions and outcomes that marginalize their voices, needs, and wants. The literature on collective action of people in poverty and who experience homelessness is sparse. Scholarship incorporating the voices of people who experience homelessness and participate in collective action is meager within this small body of literature. The role agency plays in individual behaviors and how such choices may be shaped by social conditions, is relatively unexamined. An activist ethnography, with structural violence as described by Paul Farmer as the critical frame, was used to explore the role various types of agency played in collective actions of people with experiences of homelessness or experience housing insecurity in the Capital Region of British Columbia. Primary questions guiding the research were “What were participants’ experiences of collective change efforts? How may these efforts be understood within a structural violence framework? To answer these questions I chronicle and critically examine the challenges and successes of “The Committee”, a group of housed and unhoused activists as one example of collective actors that ‘push back’ against processes and practices that produce and reproduce homelessness. Findings suggest that structurally violent processes generate embodied outcomes, lived experiences that constrain agency, often working to exclude people with experience of homelessness from collective resistances. Participation of people who are actively homeless or with experiences of homelessness in collective resistances requires attending to basic material needs and daily life issues in ways that allow meaningful participation in organizing work as a precursor to collective action. Allies can reproduce structures of violence and contribute to dismantling those same structures. Relationships between people with experience of homelessness and allies may work to mitigate unequal power relations, allowing some people with experiences of homelessness opportunities for participation in collective resistances not otherwise available to them. Implications for grassroots organizing and inclusion of people with experience of homelessness in collective resistances are included. Advisors/Committee Members: Pauly, Bernadette M. (supervisor), Matwychuk, Margo Lyn (supervisor).

▼ The men’s rights movement (MRM) is a loosely affiliated collection of primarily online communities that together form a substantial component of a broader constellation of online men’s groups known as the “manosphere”. Though the specific ideologies that comprise the core of the modern MRM have existed since the mid-1970s, it was not until the advent of modern online communications that the movement was able to iterate into the form it is today. This research project examines the MRM as a form of reactionary countermovement, rooted in a collective sense of grievance, which directs knowledge producers and movement participants alike to engage in collective identity construction and in-group boundary maintenance through a shared, collaboratively developed countermemory. The research, composed of a qualitative analysis of MRM-produced texts found across more than thirty websites and online communities, indicates that the bulk of MRM literature and online activity facilitates the maintenance of this countermemory and to enable the movement to challenge its ideological opponents. Additionally, through a limited number of narrative interviews with members of pro-feminist men’s groups, this research contrasts the inward-facing orientation of MRM knowledge production and activity against that of pro-feminist men’s organizations, which engage in outward-facing, community-focused activism rooted in a shared sense of responsibility. This dissertation contributes to social movement theory by illustrating how online movements make use of virtual space through the construction of what I term virtual geographies to facilitate identity construction and knowledge transmission. The MRM makes use of these spaces to construct alternative discursive frameworks – countermemory – which allow for a reconceptualization of men’s social position from one of privilege and dominance, to one of marginalization and oppression. Advisors/Committee Members: Hallgrimsdottir, Helga (supervisor), Brunet-Jailly, Emmanuel (supervisor).

▼ Social movements (SMs) are common, yet complex phenomenon of study, generating eclectic and even conflicting perspectives on what actually constitutes a SM. This notion points towards the need of an inclusive framework that attempts to talk with rather than past conflicting perspectives. The purpose of this dissertation is to develop a hybrid theoretical framework that incorporates three SM perspectives: (1) SMs as aggregates, (2) SMs as networks, and (3) SMs as symbolic interactions. I argue that a framework of SMs as networks communication episodes (CAMs) is one way to build a successful hybrid approach, arguing that SMs consist of relationships between and within actors and events. In order to put the CAM framework to use, I used multidimensional exponential random graph modeling (MERGM) to analyze four different SMS: (1) 1970s US Energy Policy Domain, (2) 1970s US Health Policy Domain, (3) 1980s Anti-Stalinist mobilization in Poland, and (4) 1980s US Labor Policy Domain. Multidimensional network simulation was used to determine which organizing patterns correlate to instrumental and expressive theories of collective action and MERGM was used to uncover the dominant multidimensional organizing patterns in the empirical data behind each SM. Results revealed that most collective action events were organized by single organizations across all four SMs and that the Polish SM was the only movement out of the four that contain positive estimates of parameters conducive to network theories of collective action. Based on these results, a working model of factors that are theorized to influence the CAM structure is proposed, along with an application to the Anti-Stalinist mobilization in Poland and anti-Three Mile Island nuclear power plant mobilization. Moreover, based on different patterns in the CAM framework, a typology of different modes of organizing for collective action is developed, challenging a recent and common perspective of collective action as either organized or un-organized.

▼ The restoration of democratic regimes in the Philippines and Brazil in the 1980s provided an opportunity to redefine the relationship between the state and social movements. As movements carried their advocacies into the new democratic regimes, activism became about how movements could shape nascent democratic institutions to expand and regularize movement access, while simultaneously preparing the movement itself to take part in institutional decision-making. These new opportunities and institutions thus necessitated new repertoires of contention. This dissertation seeks to add to our understanding about these processes by answering two questions: How have social movements navigated the new democratic space? and, What determines the kinds of repertoires social movement actors adopted? Through the in-depth process tracing of four social movement campaigns, which included my personal attendance at meetings, fora, and strategy sessions, as well as over eighty interviews, I make two arguments to explain how social movement actors in the Philippines and Brazil chose their repertoires. First, social movement organizations working on a given issue carve out specialized niches for themselves in terms of skills, target sector, areas of influence, and political ideology. Thus, when social movement organizations work together on a particular issue or campaign, a division of labor develops that can allow the movement to approach the issue on a variety of strategic fronts. Second, social movement organizations in democratic Philippines and Brazil emphasized framing their strategies and tactics in terms of sectoral ownership and decision via collective processes. Sectoral ownership, or framing a campaign or advocacy as being the demand of the affected sector itself, is important for social movement organizations to compete with both the state as well as other organizations as the “legitimate” representative of the people. Relatedly, collective decision-making processes are emphasized in order to provide a quasi-formal veneer to this claim of legitimate representation, as well as to act as a parallel to the democratic processes that movements urge the state to follow. Thus, the hope is that internal processes both put pressure on the state to adopt democratic policy-making processes, while simultaneously preparing social movement members to eventually participate in such state processes.

▼ In recent decades, social movements in general and Social Movement Organisations (SMOs) in particular have been going through processes of professionalisation, adopting market goals and methods, and employing on a large scale. Whilst most literature focuses on the impact of such processes for SMO activism, this research focuses on the impact of such moves for SMO staff. This thesis looks at employment and professionalisation in Israeli peace and anti-occupation SMOs, using Social Movement Theory, labour market literature, and a Weberian approach to conceptualise professionalisation, working conditions, and careers in SMOs. The mixed-methods data collection process included a phone survey of 200 workers in 32 SMOs, administrative data collected from the Israeli Bureau of Associations, 5 in-depth interviews and 2 workshops. The quantitative analysis mainly includes a comparison of SMO workers and representative data on the Israeli population and labour market (using the surveys ISSP 2005, ESS 2010, and the Israeli Central Bureau of Statistics’ Social Survey 2011), and multilevel analysis using variables at both the organisational and the individual levels. The interviews and workshops used participants as partners, ensuring that the analysis is valid, meaningful, and relevant. Findings reveal that the researched SMO workers are highly educated, with an overrepresentation of women and Palestinians. They have a higher proportion of part-time positions, shorter tenure, and lower pay considering their educational levels, compared to the general Israeli labour market. While inequalities between Jews and Palestinians are not maintained in SMOs, inequalities between men and women are. Whilst working conditions are not ideal, SMO workers are motivated more by helping others and by professional interest, and less by practical considerations – although these do have a place in their decisions. They tend to stay within the Social Movement Sector, and develop an activism career – in which the organisational style and goals of SMOs compared to those of other sectors make it hard for them to leave the Social Movement Sector. The conceptualisation of professionalisation as bureaucratisation presented in Social Movement Theory matches actual data, and a professionalisation scale was created. Professionalisation may have negative effects on salary and tenure, and no positive effects were seen. These findings are true for SMOs that already employ workers, and they are interesting given that one consequence of professionalisation is creating more SMO employment. Different activity areas seem to offer different working conditions. This dissertation offers a contribution to SMOs and their workers, by highlighting inequalities and problematic issues regarding working conditions. It also enhances our theoretical understanding of SMO workers’ careers and careers in general, as well as of the possible consequences of professionalisation processes.

▼ This dissertation explores how three social movements deployed an anti-neoliberal master frame during the course of a multi-movement protest wave. Using ethnographic content analysis. I examine the Global Justice (GJM), Antiwar (AWM), and Immigrant Rights movements (IRM) of the 2000s to offer a theoretical synthesis of the framing perspective in social movements and Gramscian hegemony, which I call the counter-hegemonic framing approach. This approach links the contested discursive practices of social movements to historically specific political-economic contexts to offer a macro framework to make sense of this meso-level activity that illuminates the development of a counter-hegemonic master frame. I apply this approach in case studies of each movement and a culminating incorporated comparison. In the GJM chapter, I found that the GJM frames neoliberal institutions such as the World Trade Organization, World Bank, and International Monetary Fund as influenced by corporate power. Second, the GJM amplifies the symptoms of neoliberal globalization such as global inequality and environmental degradation. Third, there is a master frame specific to neoliberalism which defines neoliberal globalization as a corporate project that seeks to reduce environmental, human rights, and labor regulations by eroding sovereignty in order to open markets and increase profits. For the AWM, I found that the movement integrated the context of both rollback and rollout neoliberalism into their framing to build opposition to the Afghan and Iraq War. In addition, following the corporate power frame of the GJM, the AWM problematizes the involvement of corporations in foreign policy discussions. For the IRM, I found that one of the central goals of their framing was to deflect blame away from undocumented immigrants. There are two ways the IRM accomplished this. First, the IRM emphasized the economic contributions of immigrants. Second, the IRM emphasized the impact of neoliberal globalization as a cause of increased immigration and social problems for which migrants were blamed. Finally, in an incorporated comparison of these case studies I found a distinct anti-neoliberal “repertoire of interpretation,” which forms the basis of an anti-neoliberal master frame that emphasizes US hegemony, corporate power, economic inequality, and neoliberal rollout.

▼ How important are social relationships for contribution to collective action? Existing work on contribution to collective action and participation in social movements has shifted its focus from individual characteristics to social structure as the key to predicting participation, but much of the work on social structure focuses on dyadic interactions as predictors of initial contribution. Building on recent research on patterns of group joining behavior, both online and in academic research settings, this study explores the extent to which attributes of dyadic and local network structure predict continued participation. The research presented here uses data from Wikipedia, the online encyclopedia, and Wallop, a social networking and personal publishing service, to explore four key questions. First, how do dyadic relationships affect rates of continued participation? Second, what is the relationship between local network structure, such as triadic closure, and subsequent contribution? Third, if triadic closure has an effect, is it the result of structural differences in the network, or is triadic closure encoding dyadic tie strength? Finally, are social network attributes predictive of contribution in task-oriented groups, or are they more important for socially oriented groups? The results of this study highlight the importance of social relationships with other contributors as predictors of participation in voluntary associations. The importance of local network structure, which does not appear to be an artifact of tie strength, suggests a possible social affirmation effect where individuals are motivated to contribute by relationships embedded within a social group of other active participants. Furthermore, while social interaction is predictive of increased participation in both socially oriented and task-oriented systems, strong social relationships are negatively correlated with contribution in task-oriented settings. This suggests competing effects, where social relationships with other contributors serve as an important attraction even as they distract the contributor from the task at hand.

▼ What makes ethnicity the central division animating some violent intrastate conflicts and, in such conflicts, why do some local struggles align along this cleavage while others do not? This dissertation proposes a coalitional theory of revolutionary contention, based upon the notion that intrastate violent conflicts are struggles between an incumbent regime and its challengers to assemble coalitions of supporters. It holds that social actors’ expectations for how they will be treated by the incumbent and the challenger are critical in determining whether and how they will participate in revolutionary challenge to the state. These expectations are structured by the topography of ethnic boundaries, but also by many non-ethnic factors, including network ties, class, and regional identities, and evolve over the course of a revolutionary situation. Violence, to the extent that it flows primarily across one social boundary, such as ethnicity, can impugn the credibility of commitments made on the basis of other identities and make that social boundary the dominant social division defining the conflict. I test the implications of the coalitional theory for the behavior of social actors and the incumbent regime using a quantitative national-level study of the 2011 Syrian uprising and sub-national studies of two regions of Syria. The quantitative study employs newly collected, highly disaggregated data on ethnicity, social structure, and contentious events. The sub-national studies investigate the rapid escalation of violence in the city of Homs and the similarly dramatic de-escalation of protest in the Kurdish regions of northern Syria, drawing on interviews and primary and secondary source materials. I also examine the role of identity boundaries and network ties in structuring participation in the Bosnian war of the early 1990s and the restoration of political order in Iraq following the 1991 mass uprising against the regime. By theorizing the interaction of state distributive strategies and social boundaries, the dissertation contributes to ongoing efforts to disentangle ethnic and non-ethnic factors in explanations of political phenomena. In particular, it augments theories of instrumental, strategic action in revolutionary situations by demonstrating the ways in which violence can foreclose many choices of social actors in conflict.

▼ This study departs from Gállok, an area 40 kilometres northwest of the city Jokkmokk, in northern Sweden. This is a place to which local people and Saami reindeer herders have material interests and emotional bonds. The mining company JIMAB wants to prospect for extracting minerals from this area. In the summer of 2013 local people, Saamis and environmental activists gathered in Gállok in order to protest and make resistance against these plans. Activism was made, debate articles were written, demonstrations were organized and information about what was going on in Gállok was shared through social media. The aim of this study is to examine the cultural processes of the anti-mining movement, in particular the happenings in Gállok in summer 2013. How did this anti-mining movement take form? What kind of strategies and methods were used, in order to mobilize participants? This study focuses on the material and bodily aspects of resistance and activism. What kind of material interests lie behind the involvement? How do they use their bodies as tools to make resistance? Furthermore the current thesis examines some of the reasoning, questions and emotions that circulate in the movement. Around which questions and values do the participants in the anti-mining gather? How do emotions affect people's involvement? One of the main arguments of this study is that social movements can be understood both as political and cultural. Is this also the case with the anti-mining movement in Gállok? This study consists of 5 chapters and a summary. The first chapter presents the theories, methods and materials that have been used in this study. In chapter two the reader is presented to the historical background and context of the anti-mining movement. In the third chapter, we examine some of the main reasonings, questions and emotions that circulate in the movement. The fourth chapter focuses on the happenings that took place in Gállok in the summer of 2013, when activists, locals and Saami people where gathered to protest and make resistance. In the fifth chapter a anti-mining demonstration that took place in Jokkmokk in the winter of 2014 is analyzed. The conclusions are then drawn in the final brief summary.

▼ Despite the increasing awareness of gay, lesbian, LGBT, and queer activism in the United States, some sexual minorities continue to face marginalization, even within these movements (Anderlini-D'Onofrio 2003, Burleson 2005). Those interested in bisexual rights specifically are creating a movement within a unique historical, cultural, material, and discursive situation. To create a more comprehensive view of the multiple elements influencing and interacting to comprise the situation of action of the contemporary bisexual movement today, this project utilizes situational analysis. This methodological approach extends grounded theory in order to shift the analysis from one social process to the multiple components present within a particular situation of action (Clarke 2005). Situational analysis is especially useful for this project because it allows researchers to look beyond the boundaries of what is typically assumed to be a movement and thus also extends traditional social movement theories without ignoring their important contributions. Using multiple layers of information from five official organizational websites, writings about and by twenty individuals who publically advocate for bisexual rights, fifteen interviews with activists, and observations at a three-day conference, data were collected about bi groups, bi activists, and bi spaces. As prescribed by situational analysis, a series of analytic maps were produced that visually represented the various actors, organizations, discursive positions and the relationships among them. Based on this analysis, the situation of action of current bisexual activism empirically supports the existence of a bisexual movement, unique from other movements. This research highlights new empirical findings about the bisexual movement that have not been previously discussed in literature, including the impact that academic, political, and virtual environments have on movement framing, emotions, tactics, and coalition-building. These results serve to extend social movement theory, specifically when considering the construction of collective identity, the influence of infighting, and the use of online tools within a new social movement. Contemporary bisexual activists are building bridges in ways that contribute to bi movement successes and push social movement theories in new directions.

Grassroots contention has become one of major challenges that the Chinese Communist Party has to confront over the past decade. With the skyrocketing number of social protest in China, the ruling communist party-state has also demonstrated considerable variation in the methods of its responses to contentious challenges, particularly at the local level. While the party-state still ruthlessly represses its societal challengers in many instances, local authorities have nevertheless made concessions in other cases in order to avoid the use of extensive state violence, illustrating the possibility of an authoritarian state compromising with contentious claims-makers. This research takes a state-centered approach to explore the factors that could determine government reactions as well as investigate the rationale behind actual state responses in real instances of contentious politics. Based on in-depth analysis of six empirical cases, state capacity has been identified as a crucial viable that shapes varied government responses to grassroots contention. Governments with stronger fiscal, coercive, and bureaucratic resources are more capable of managing claim-making processes and achieving effective on-site control over social protesters, which facilitates settlement via accommodation and concession; while governments of weaker capacity are less able to control disturbances and avoid conflict escalation, often bringing a higher level of disruption to local social stability and ending in state repression and coercion. A popular expectation assumes that contentious challenges serve as a driving force to liberalize authoritarian regimes. Government responses to contentious challenges deserve greater attention from students of contentious politics. Such analysis could provide new perspectives to better understand the nuanced interactions between state authorities and societal power-brokers, as well as assess the resilience of authoritarian regimes. This work contributes to bringing the state back under examination to account for the outcome of protest episodes, which might open up interesting lines of future empirical enquiry into China’s burgeoning contentious politics.
