Mobilizing the Faithful
Militant Islamist Groups and Their ConstituenciesStefan Malthaner
Campus Verlag, 2011
One of the keys to dealing with militant Islamic groups is understanding how they work with, relate to, and motivate their constituencies. Mobilizing the Faithful offers a pair of detailed case studies—of the Egyptian groups al-Jamaa al-Islamiyya and al-Jihad and Lebanon's Hizbullah—to identify typical forms of support relationships, development patterns, and dynamics of both radicalization and restraint. The insights it offers into the crucial relationship between militants and the communities from which they arise are widely applicable to violent insurgencies not only in the Middle East but around the world.
Processes of Collective Action
Edited by Lorenzo Bosi and Stefan Malthaner
Temple University Press, 2027
Whether collective action takes the form of protest campaigns, social movements, political violence or strikes, there is a dynamic nature to the shared goal of effecting change. But whereas most studies look at when collective action begins, the editors and contributors to Processes of Collective Action take a processual approach, looking at how collective action emerges, proceeds, what is achieved, and how different collective actors react to what unfolds.
Bringing together leading scholars of contentious politics, this volume seeks to explore and advance process analysis across different forms of political conflicts, types of actors, and varieties of collective action. Featuring theoretical concepts, methodological tools, and global cutting-edge research, Processes of Collective Action offers a series of case studies and conceptual essays that reflect on crucial issues in and current transformations of collective action.
