Ruin through formalization? Processes of social movement institutionalization: the example of the Interventionist Left
This is the fifth post in the blog series "Movements and Institutions". The article traces a formalization process within the Interventionist Left (IL). Against theoretical expectations that would assume a de-radicalization of aims and repertoires of protest, we find that due to the network's multi-track strategy, and the claim to radicalize existing social debates, the IL did not de-radicalize despite a formalization process and a partial integration into established systems.
