> The session focuses on social movements in Eastern and Western Europe.
> It has often been argued that civil society functions differently in
> countries of the former Soviet block and Western Europe, and that the
> conditions for social movement mobilization and collective action
> differ in these regions. How does that express itself in the workings
> and the culture of different movements in this current period of
> crisis? And, to what extent are these differences relevant for newer
> transnationalized movements, such as the global justice movements? How
> does a transnational movement working various national contexts? We
> especially invite papers with empirical findings and/or a comparative
> perspective. We also invite papers about processes of transnational
> networking and coalition-building involving East and West.
