> THE SOCIAL MOVEMENT RESEARCH NETWORK: CALL FOR PAPERS
>
> The purpose of the social movement research network’s sessions at
> the ESA conference in Lisbon 2009 is to contribute to the on-going
> reflection on social movement theory and present up-to-date
> empirical research on mobilisation in various contexts.
>
> The 2007 conference in Glasgow and the 2008 Mid-term Conference of
> the RN in Trento demonstrated that research on social movements is
> experiencing a very intense period of debate. We very much hope to
> build on this momentum at the Lisbon conference.
>
> The sessions aim at deepening our understanding of all aspects of
> social movement theory and analysis. However, we especially
> encourage papers on the following topics: social movement outcomes;
> social movement failure; the role of the media and new technologies
> in mobilisation; right wing activism; religious activism; the role
> of emotions in activism; non-Western activism; transnational
> mobilization and cross-national diffusion; protest innovation; and
> the potential of social movements for democratic renewal at local,
> national and global levels.
>
> The deadline for submissions is 26 February 2009. All submissions
> must be made through on the online submission form that you can find
> on the conference website:www.esa9thconference.com.
>
> We look forward to receiving your submissions and, hopefully, to
> meet in you in Lisbon 2009.
