Although the fields of organization theory and social movement theory
have long been viewed as belonging to different worlds, recent events
have intervened, reminding us that organizations are becoming more
movement-like - more volatile and politicized - while movements are
more likely to borrow strategies from organizations. Organization
theory and social movement theory are two of the most vibrant areas
within the social sciences. This collection of original essays and
studies both calls for a closer connection between these fields and
demonstrates the value of this interchange. Three introductory,
programmatic essays by leading scholars in the two fields are followed
by eight empirical studies that directly illustrate the benefits of
this type of cross-pollination. The studies variously examine the
processes by which movements become organized and the role of movement
processes within and among organizations. The topics covered range
from globalization and transnational social movement organizations to
community recycling programs.
