Summary
Networks Never Lie. – or, at least, by telling us who people hang around with, they offer hints about where they stand. That seems to have been the case for those who studied contentious politics in recent decades.
In 1993 and 1994, two new networks of social movement scholars were established by the International Sociological Association (ISA):
The Research Committee on Social Classes and Social Movements (RC47), created with largely French-Canadian, Brazilian, German, and English board members in 1993; and
The Research Committee on Social Movements, Collective Action, and Social Change (RC48), formed by Dutch, Polish, American, and Italian board members in 1994.
