Strategic Alliances

<div> <div>Social researchers in the past have paid surprisingly little theoretical or empirical attention to movement alliances. <i>Strategic Alliances</i> provides a pioneering set of in-depth analyses of the circumstances leading to these organizational alliances. Contributors investigate coalition dynamics among social movements including antiwar environmental and labor movements as well as ethnic organizations and women's groups. While many of the essays examine coalition formation in the United States others consider coalitions in Britain the former East Germany East Asia and Latin America.</div> <div><br> Contributors: Paul Almeida Texas A&M U; Elizabeth Borland College of New Jersey; Daniel B.
