> Dear colleagues,
>
> We are planning to propose a panel "Outcomes of Collective action" in
> the section "Emerging patterns of collective action" at the ECPR
> General
> conference in Pisa, September 2007 and would invite you to present
> papers
> on this subject.
>
> The aim of the panel is to bring together scholars who are concerned
> with outcomes or consequences of various forms of political
> actions. There
> is a lot of research on the factors that explain why or what kind of
> people (do not) participate in collective actions, but the outcome of
> these activities is much less studied, particularly in European
> context.
> The outcomes could be related to achieving a particular policy or
> change
> in organization's behaviour; further analysis is also needed on the
> impact of
> collective action on participants themselves or the mobilizing
> agency. We
> are particularly interested in how various political or economic
> contexts affect
> the outcome, how the outcomes of various forms of participation differ
> from each other and how to measure the interdependence of different
> outcomes. Both theoretical, methodological and empirical papers are
> welcomed.
> If you are interested in presenting a paper in this panel or, be
> a discussant for some papers, then, we would appreciate if you could
> contact us before 15th of December, because we would like to add the
> preliminary list of participants to our proposal.
