CfP: Joint Actions against the Radical Right: Labor Movement's Contemporary Cross-Movement Mobilization

Conference: International Conference on Cross-movement Mobilization April 5-7, 2017, Ruhr-University Bochum (Germany)

Deadline: October 1

There has been a recent increase in cross-movement mobilization against radical right wing groups in Europe and beyond. One of the movements which have become increasingly active is the labor movement, and this panel is interested in how labor movements in different countries mobilize, cooperate and build alliances with other movements in order to fight the growth of radical right activism. Which kinds of strategies are used in such cross-movement mobilizations? Which kinds of movements are the labor movement cooperating with? What are the political and movement related consequences of these kinds of mobilizations? How does the counter-mobilization of the radical right influence the sustainability of such cross-movement cooperation? This panel welcomes empirical and theoretical contributions, comparative or single country studies and encourages the application of wide set of methodological tools.
