Förlagets beskrivning
Decision making is the oil that greases the wheel of social movement
organizing. Done poorly, it derails organizations and coalitions; done well, it
advances the movement and may model those changes movements seek to effect in
society. Despite its importance, movement decision making has been little
studied. Section one makes a contribution to the study of social movement decision
making through seven focused case studies, followed by a critical commentary.
The case studies on decision making cut across a wide breadth of social
movement contexts, including Peace Brigades International teams, a feminist
bakery collective, Earth First, the NGO Forum on Women, Friends of the Earth,
the Tlapanec indigenous movement in Mexico, an on-line strategic voting
campaign, and Korean labour movements. The section concludes with Jane
Mansbridge's synthesis and critical commentary on the papers, wherein she
continues to make her own substantive contributions to the literature on
consensus decision making. The three papers in the second section focus on
Northern Ireland, where frustration with inter-community conflict resolution
spawned a movement promoting intra-community or "single tradition" programmes.
Two chapters provide valuable comparative studies of the benefits and
shortcomings of these counter-movements, while the third paper applies
constructive conflict and nonviolent action theories to developments in the
annual parades disputes. The volume closes with two papers on Native American issues. The first
examines an initiative to teach conflict history and build conflict analysis
and resolution skills among the Seneca Nation. The final case study of two
Native American women's organizations demonstrates how socially constructed
identities are critical to movement framing processes and collective
actions. Decision making is the oil that greases the wheel of social movement
organizing. This analysis offers a range of focused case studies, from Northern
Ireland's sectarian problems to Native American and women's organizations,
followed by a critical commentary and studies.
