In person icon NGOisation of Social Movements

Abstract

European ssocial movements undergo a tension between retaining distinctive ‘out of the system’ political identities and contentious repertoires and developing ideologies and action repertoires compatible with their institutionalised political environment. At the EU level, umbrella groups of NGOs have often strong roots in the social movement sector. Yet they mainly manifest the distinctive traits of advocacy groups and more broadly NGOs. This panel will explore the conflict-cooperation conundrum that these organisations face, and the factors that promote one approach or the other. It will examine how the 2008 crisis and its aftermath have impacted their strategies and repertoires. Key words: civil society organisations; lobbying; strategies; Frontex
