Beskrivning
It is widely recognized that social movements may spread - or 'diffuse' - from one site to another. Such diffusion, however, is a complex and multidimensional process that involves different actors, networks, and mechanisms. This complexity has spawned a large body of literature on different aspects of the diffusion process, yet a comprehensive framework remains an elusive target. This book is a response to that need, and its framework focuses on three basic analytical questions. First, what is being diffused? Second, how does diffusion occur? Finally, what is the impact of diffusion on organizational development and shifts in the scale of contentious politics? This volume suggests that diffusion is not a simple matter of political contagion or imitation; rather, it is a creative and strategic process marked by political learning, adaptation, and innovation.

Recensioner i media

“Finally! Coherence about diffusion. This excellent collection brings intellectual focus to important but previously disparate debates about the spread of social movements across time, borders, and cultures. Highlighting three critical theoretical questions, the contributions deftly interweave analysis of the activists promoting diverse movements, the strategies they deploy, and the contexts in which these efforts succeed or fail.” —Clifford Bob, Duquesne University
