> Synopsis
> Social movement strategies and coalition dynamics in movements are
> two of the most robust arenas for cutting-edge research. Many case
> studies offer useful analytical windows through which we can
> understand the strategic choices made by individual movement
> organizations. Equally if not more important questions remain about
> how the positions a movement organization occupies in the broader
> social movement field impacts strategic decision-making. Coalition
> politics and conflicts matter to social movements. Thus Section One
> of this volume of "Research in Social Movements, Conflicts and
> Change" presents a series of papers focused on the complex dynamics
> of coalitions and the interorganizational relations within social
> movements. Another section follows immediately that compliments in
> an integrated way the first, this one focused on strategic decision
> making in social movements, including with regard to strategic
> alliances. The Volume closes with a third section on political
> opportunities and political inequalities. This volume of the
> "Research in Social Movements, Conflicts and Change" does what the
> series has always done best: showcase sound empirical work and
> creative theory-building that addresses those questions currently at
> the forefront of the field.
