Abstract

We draw upon diverse theoretical perspectives in organizational analysis to identify four areas where a more serious interface between this "cognate" field and social movement research promises to deepen our understanding of social movement organizations (SMOs). These areas include conceptualizing social movements as organizational fields, thinking of activists as part of a labor market situated in the social movement sector, analyzing SMOs in terms of entrepreneurship and organizational change, and finally, looking more closely at processes of organizational decision making. We discuss studies by social movement scholars that implicitly or explicitly engage the cognate scholarship with an eye to identifying those areas where systematic research is lacking. We close by sketching some methodological approaches for addressing each of the lacunae we identify.

重振对社会运动中组织过程的研究

我们利用组织分析中不同的理论观点来确定四个领域，在这些领域中，这个“同源”领域和社会运动研究之间的更严肃的接口有望加深我们对社会运动组织(SMOs)的理解。这些领域包括将社会运动概念化为组织领域，将活动家视为位于社会运动部门的劳动力市场的一部分，从企业家精神和组织变革的角度分析SMOs，最后，更密切地关注组织决策的过程。我们讨论社会运动学者的研究，这些研究含蓄或明确地涉及同源学术，着眼于确定缺乏系统研究的领域。最后，我们概述了一些方法方法，以解决我们所确定的每一个空白。

期刊介绍： Mobilization: An International Quarterly is the premier journal of research specializing in social movements, protests, insurgencies, revolutions, and other forms of contentious politics. Mobilization was first published in 1996 to fill the need for a scholarly review of research that focused exclusively with social movements, protest and collective action. Mobilization is fully peer-reviewed and widely indexed. A 2003 study, when Mobilization was published semiannually, showed that its citation index rate was 1.286, which placed it among the top ten sociology journals. Today, Mobilization is published four times a year, in March, June, September, and December. The editorial board is composed of thirty internationally recognized scholars from political science, sociology and social psychology. The goal of Mobilization is to provide a forum for global, scholarly dialogue. It is currently distributed to the top international research libraries and read by the most engaged scholars in the field. We hope that through its wide distribution, different research strategies and theoretical/conceptual approaches will be shared among the global community of social movement scholars, encouraging a collaborative process that will further the development of a cumulative social science.
