Dear all,

Priska Daphi and I will organise the section on Participation and
Mobilisation in the next ECPR (European Consortium for Political Research)
General Conference in Oslo (6-9 September 2017).
You are welcome to propose a panel or an individual paper related to the
topic of the section through the ECPR website
<https://ecpr.eu/Events/SectionDetails.aspx?SectionID=653&EventID=96>. The
deadline for panel and paper proposals is *15 February 2017*. Here is a
short outline of the section.




*Beyond Social Movements: Cross-Field Insights on Contentious Politics*
Chairs: Lorenzo Zamponi (Scuola Normale Superiore) and Priska Daphi (Johann
Wolfgang Goethe-Universität Frankfurt)


In the last three decades, the study of collective action has reached an
unprecedented level of development and recognition. In the last five years,
in particular, research on activism has proven fundamental to understand
political processes, with the development of various waves of mobilisation,
from the Arab Spring to Occupy Wall Street, from the anti-corruption
marches in India to anti-austerity demonstrations in Southern Europe.

Since the recognition of the relevance of participation and mobilisation
has been growing in different areas, the study of contentious politics has
been increasingly interacting with other fields, both within and beyond
sociology and political science.

The goal of this Section is to provide an opportunity to further develop
such cross-sectoral insights, favouring the cooperation of researchers
coming from different fields of political science.

We invite Panels and Papers that focus on the interaction between the
literature on contentious politics, including both political participation
and social mobilization, and other fields of political science, both from
the theoretical and the empirical point of view. Examples of panels: Social
movements and political parties; Social movements and migrations; Social
movements and memory; Social movements and media; Social movements and
industrial relations; Social movements and political transformations; Social
movements and international relations.


Best,

Lorenzo Zamponi
