New article in @IntlStudiesRev. Come for the International Relations, stay for the Social Movement Studies! We investigate how social movements react to the so called "Opening Up" of international organizations.

Together with Priska Daphi ( @protestinstitut) and Nicole Deitelhoff ( @HSFK_PRIF), we analyze the interaction between social movements and international organizations, delivering on our project to integrate International Relations and Social Movement Studies more closely.
Based on work of @JonasTallberg @t_sommerer & others who found that IOs are opening up to civil society, we ask how social movements react to that trend, finding a variety of pathways. We argue: the trend of civil society participation needs to be re-assessed for social movements
With case studies from Indonesia and the UK, we look at the peasant movement @spipetani, the feminist movement @Soliper_SP, debt relief campaign @dropthedebt, and the direct action network "Reclaim the Streets" finding strongly diverging reactions to institutional opportunities.
Access is a weak predictor for the reactions of social movements. Their reaction depends on activists’ perception of openings: cooperative or co-optation strategy? This perception is influenced by ideological framework and especially earlier experiences with domestic institutions
Let me know if you're interested but do not have access to the article. I'm happy to help. @Bewegungen @HSFK_PRIF
