Explores the crucial nexus of policy makers and social movements. Routing the Opposition connects the substance and content of policies with the movements that create and respond to them. The authors engage such topics as the process of involving multiple stakeholders in policy making, the impact of overlapping social networks on policy and social movement development, and the influence of policy design on the increase or decline of civic involvement. Capturing both successes and failures, Routing the Opposition focuses on strategies and outcomes that both transform social movements and guide the development of public policy, revealing as well what happens when the very different organizational cultures of activists and public policy makers interact. “Routing the Opposition is a must read for all students of social movements and public policy. It will leave its mark on the field of social movement research.” —Mobilization “I like this book very much — I found it informative and it stimulated me to think about my own work in new ways. Routing the Opposition offers suggestive pointers on how to look for democracy in action.” —Contemporary Sociology Contributors: Edwin Amenta, Lee Ann Banaszak, Frank R. Baumgartner, Ryken Grattet, Mrill Ingram, Mary Fainsod Katzenstein, Christine Mahoney, John D. McCarthy, Suzanne Mettler, Ellen Reese. David S.
