Global Justice Movement Organizations: The Organizational Population

  • Chapter
Democracy in Social Movements

Abstract

Our research focuses on the Global Justice Movement. In general, social movements cannot be characterized as unified actors: by their very nature, they are made up of loose networks, their repertoire of action is varied, and their collective identity is not structured within specific organizational boundaries (della Porta and Diani 2006, chap. 1). This is all the more true for the actor we investigate, which has been described as organizationally fluid, strategically broad, and tolerant of diversity (della Porta 2007c).
