Deadlines and procedures
If you wish to present a paper, please email your proposal with a title and a short description (150 to 250 words) to the Program Coordinator Benjamín Tejerina, b.tejerina@ehu.es, by October 15, 2009.

Paper proposals that do not fit to the topic of the call for papers may be submitted to the RC48 Program Coordinator for integration in additional sessions or alternative arrangements.
Session proposals are welcome too and must include a title, a brief description of the topic, chair's name and contact information, and a list of four to five speakers. Session proposals may be in any of the ISA's official languages, English, Spanish, or French.
We welcome papers which address four main issues:
- conceptual and theoretical thinking about the outcomes of social movements and protest activities, including refining existing definitions and typologies, conceptualizing the links between different types of effects, and theorizing about mechanisms leading to movement outcomes;
- methodological reflections about how to deal with the subject matter and how to avoid the obstacles that have hindered previous research;
- empirical analysis of social movement outcomes in different social, cultural, and political settings, in particular comparative studies encompassing different movements and/or countries;
- unintended outcomes and papers addressing movement outcomes in non-Western contexts, papers looking at the impact of political violence tactics, and papers analyzing outcomes of transnational movements and protests would be also welcome.
Proposed sessions
1: Social movements and the future
2: Society on the move(ments)

Main Theme
Globalization, Risk, Crisis and Subjectivity
The aim of the RC47 scientific program at the ISA World Congress in Gotenburg Sweden in 2010 is to creatively and innovatively explore theories of collective action in the context of the current global crisis. We seek questions that articulate the current crisis - in its global, integrated and systemic form - to the question of subjectivity and the role of the subject in these momentous changes. The question we now ask in these transformative times: what are the likely outcomes and future of this turbulence in terms of our understanding of collective action and the future of globalization processes.

2: The Social construction of risks and citizens' movement
