Research In Social Movements Conflicts And Change Vol 22

A long-standing characteristic of the series is publishing new theoretical and empirical work that connects previously disparate sub-fields. This volume continues that tradition as the papers join social movements research with organizational theory, new institutionalism, strategic action fields, and nonviolent action.

Now that we are almost a quarter of the way into the 21st century, the field of sociology is in need of research like this which explores methods for studying contentious politics in the context of broader social changes to peacebuilding, armed conflicts, and social movements.

Research in Social Movements Conflicts and Change showcases deeply empirical and often multi-method research by senior and junior scholars alike. Comparative analysis and qualitative case studies push into new territories in this illuminating and important research which seeks to define and advance the multiple fields reflected in the series title.

This work is part of a series of original articles on research in social movements, conflicts and change. It carries papers that are broad in scope and methodologically diverse.

This volume focuses on analyses of identity and narratives of identity in conflict outbreaks, dynamics, resolution and/or post-conflict peacebuilding and transitional justice.
