To address this gap, we build on the literature on social movements and advocacy groups. Drawing on experiences with political advocacy between 2018 and 2022, this article maps enabling factors and barriers for advocacy as well as the related internal debates and contestations. We find that the organisational structure of the network (or in some instances, the lack thereof) influences strategies and tactics, resources, emotions and group dynamics, and advocacy spaces. The study concludes that advocates should pay due attention to their movement's organisational structure in relation to advocacy, including potential tensions around member participation in decision-making, responsibilities, and legitimacy of advocates. Attention should also be paid to the visibility and valorisation of advocacy work, and (mis-)matches between the internal structure and advocacy spaces.","PeriodicalId":45635,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Politics Culture and Society","volume":"39 3","pages":"495-526"},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2026-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC13585796/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"149009178","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this theoretical meta-reflection, radicalization is defined as individuals’ increasing deviance from superordinate important, socially accepted norms by increasing conformity with (sub)group norms. Applying this notion to established radicalization theories, comparing social psychological and political science definitions of radicalization, similarities and differences between contextualized and decontextualized understandings are highlighted. While it seems paradoxical for the mainstream to radicalize—since logically, deviance from the norm cannot be normative—a radicalized mainstream is nonetheless conceivable in relation to a superordinate injunctive norm that prescribes what should be done but is violated by subordinate mainstream norms. Resulting from the theoretical discussion, three conceptions of radicalized mainstreams are distinguished, all understood as norms deviating from injunctive norms: (I) descriptive norms, (II) consensus-overestimating injunctive but less shared norms, and (III) norms of groups that are logically subordinate to larger norm-setting groups, as in the case of national mainstreams in relation to supranational norms.","PeriodicalId":45635,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Politics Culture and Society","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-04-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://link.springer.com/content/pdf/10.1007/s10767-025-09518-4.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147912591","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This article turns to the symbolic group-making work of human rights workers as agents who work with prisoners, and who also construct the image of the prisoner for the rest of society. I zoom in on the case of prison NGO work in Russia, a non-democratic country, and answer two questions: first, how do prison NGOs construct the image of the prisoner, and articulate their relationship with their social base and their networks of civic engagement? Second, what organizational behaviors do these articulations encourage? Drawing on 18 semi-structured interviews and observation at prison NGOs based in Moscow, the study shows that Russian NGO workers often view themselves and act as members of a middle class social movement in Russia. While NGOs tend to focus on the most economically disadvantaged and socially isolated groups in their work, the prisoners they depict when addressing the public and the press tend to represent more educated groups with higher levels of symbolic capital (political prisoners, those convicted of economic crimes, and former state employees), reflecting a desire to put prison on the middle class agenda. At the same time, prison NGO employees employ a class lens in their work with prisoners, and determine how to help prisoners based on their assessment of how the socio-economic background of the prisoner intersects with ethnicity, religion, ability/disability, region where they are serving their sentence, and region where they are from. In other words, prison NGO workers view prisoners through the resources they can accumulate using the simultaneous, intersecting dimensions of their status and their relation to other groups both in prison and outside.","PeriodicalId":45635,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Politics Culture and Society","volume":"56 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135199013","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
