A Comparative Historical Sociology of Corruption
This volume renews the study of corruption as 'embedded' in ongoing social relations. Instead of treating corruption as a universal phenomenon, A Comparative Historical Sociology of Corruption shows how corruption is often morally ambiguous and deeply intertwined with the social, political and economic struggles of particular groups in specific times and places. Ranging from Early Modernity to the present day, and spanning across the globe, the b…
A processual framework for understanding the rise of the populist right: The case of Brazil (2013–2018)
How and in what sequence do social structures, contingent events, and agents’ decisions combine over time to bring about a new populist right? To answer this question, we propose a framework to analyze social processes spanning three levels of analysis: global political economy, national political articulation, and subnational political geography. We challenge static theories that focus solely on the “supply and demand” for populism, as well as p…
Channeling Antipartisan Contention: Field Structures and Partisan Strategies in a Global Protest Wave, 2008-2016
Protest movements that reject political parties are often considered marginal or ineffective due to their hostility toward conventional politics. However, we argue that partisan actors can use protestors’ anti-partisan frames to improve their own competitive positions, often leading to disruptive reconfigurations of party politics. In the post-2008 global protest wave, partisan actors redirected symbolic challenges to their own legitimacy toward …
The party-on-the-Net: The digital face of partisan organization and activism
In this article we theorize a new organizational face of political parties that we term the ‘party-on-the-net’, defined as a set of digital partisan activist roles enabled by the affordances of digital technologies. We first explain the conceptual advantages of understanding parties’ media hybridization as an organizational face rather than as a specific party subtype. Then, we provide a taxonomy of digital partisan roles comprising the party-on-…
Contentious Tactics as Jazz Performances: A Pragmatist Approach to the Study of Repertoire Change
The metaphor of 'repertoire' is increasingly used in the study of contention to convey the fact that people act collectively through a limited set of cultural routines. Yet despite its broad adoption, the term is loosely defined and rarely subject to empirical verification. This has led to unfruitful scholarly disputes, with most perspectives assuming that change in repertoires is independent from how actors perform them. Drawing a parallel betwe…
The Rise of the Contentious Right: Digitally Intermediated Linkage Strategies in Argentina and Brazil
This article analyzes novel patterns of interaction between right-wing parties and protest movements during major contentious cycles in Argentina (2012-13) and Brazil (2013-16), which preceded the advent of the Cambiemos coalition in the former and the impeachment of Dilma Rousseff in the latter. Drawing on a dual process-tracing strategy and a wide range of data sources, this study shows that these interactions are central to understanding why a…
Protests, signaling, and elections: Conceptualizing opposition-movement interactions during Argentina’s anti-government protests (2012-2013)
This article explores the interface of protest movements and opposition parties, considering this remains conceptually under-specified. It does so by proposing a processual framework involving three mechanisms of party-movement interaction – signaling, frame-alignment, and coalition-building – at play in different phases of a contentious cycle unfolding under electoral conditions. Drawing on novel interview data, the article validates this propos…
