Leading from the Periphery and Network Collective Action: Series Number 42 (Structural Analysis in the Social Sciences, Series Number 42) - Hardcover
Synopsis
Political revolutions, economic meltdowns, mass ideological conversions and collective innovation adoptions occur often, but when they do happen, they tend to be the least expected. Based on the paradigm of 'leading from the periphery', this groundbreaking analysis offers an explanation for such spontaneity and apparent lack of leadership in contentious collective action. Contrary to existing theories, the author argues that network effects in collective action originating from marginal leaders can benefit from a total lack of communication. Such network effects persist in isolated islands of contention instead of overarching action cascades, and are shown to escalate in globally dispersed, but locally concentrated networks of contention. This is a trait that can empower marginal leaders and set forth social dynamics distinct from those originating in the limelight. Leading from the Periphery and Network Collective Action provides evidence from two Middle Eastern uprisings, as well as behavioral experiments of collective risk-taking in social networks.

About the Author
Navid Hassanpour is currently an Associate Professor of Political Science at the Higher School of Economics in Moscow. He studies politics in hybrid regimes - collective action and elections under authoritarianism leading to social revolutions or stable electoral institutions. During the past two years he worked at Princeton University, New Jersey and Columbia University, New York, and his ongoing research in Tehran, Saint Petersburg, Istanbul and Beijing examines the inception of electoral institutions at the era of constitutional revolutions and the logic of their pursuing transformations.
