Les relations entre l'Union européenne et les États-Unis : analyse critique de l'approche « dissociative »
Cet article critique une approche qualifiée de « dissociative » dans l'analyse des relations entre les États-Unis et l'Union européenne. Il remet en cause aussi bien les présupposés théoriques que les observations empiriques des chercheurs qui ont prédit une dislocation des liens transatlantiques du fait de la fin de la guerre froide. Cette étude analyse principalement les...

Corporatism versus social democracy: Divergent fortunes of the Austrian and Swedish labour movements
In Austria, the social democrats suffered major electoral losses in the 1980s and the first half of the 1990s, and these losses translated primarily into gains for right-wing populism. In Sweden, by contrast, the social democrats have pretty much held their own in recent elections (except for 1991) and protest voting has assumed leftist as well as rightist forms. Commonly regarded as...

Was It Worth the Effort? The Outcomes and Consequences of Social Movements
Research on social movements has usually addressed issues of movement emergence and mobilization, yet has paid less attention to their outcomes and consequences. Although there exists a considerable amount of work on this aspect, little systematic research has been done so far. Most existing work focuses on political and policy outcomes of movements, whereas few studies address their...

The Other Side of the Coin: Explaining Crossnational Similarities Between Social Movements
This exploratory essay provides a general framework for the study of crossnational similarities among social movements by looking at three broad social processes: globalization, structural affinity, and diffusion.

Statistical Inference for Lorenz Curves with Censored Data
Lorenz curves and associated tools for ranking income distributions are commonly estimated on the assumption that full, unbiased samples are available. However it is common to ¯nd income and wealth distributions that are routinely censored or trimmed. We derive the sampling distribution for a key family of statistics in the case where data have been modified in this fashion.

Social movements and policy change: Direct, mediated, or joint effect?
In this paper, we discuss the relation between social movements, public opinion, and political alliances with respect to the impact of movements on public policy. We first discuss the existing literature and sketch three broad models of the role of public opinion and political alliances (or the absence of such role) in facilitating the task of social movements in producing policy...

Social networks and individual preferences: Explaining differential participation in social movements
This article seeks to explain differential participation in social movements. People are not brought to collective action at the same level of intensity. Some become core activists, while others invest only little time and effort. We test a number of hypotheses drawn from the social networks and the rationalist perspectives on individual engagement by means of survey data on...

Political coalitions, face-to-face interactions, and the public sphere: An examination of the determinants of repression with protest event data
In this paper we focus on the handling by the police of mass demonstrations in Switzerland during the past three decades. Our aim is to single out the determinants of police intervention during these protest events. We look at three sets of potential causes: (1) the configuration of power (i.e. political alliances and coalitions), (2) face-to-face interactions between protesters and...

Social movements and institutional change: Intended consequence or by-product?
Social movements can have an impact on institutions by aiming explicitly at institutional change or by pursuing policy goals. In the former situation, their chances of success depends on factors internal and external to the movements. In the latter situation, the contribution of policy-oriented movements to institutional reform can be seen as a by-product of their action. A process...
