Explores the diverse traits of modern collective action as a fusion of individual identities with the motivations of collective actors, using the example of urban movements in Montreal, Quebec, since the mid-1980s. Principal debates over individualism within liberal democratic thought are reviewed, demonstrating how issues raised by liberal thinkers converge with some of the concerns of social movements research. Their models, it is suggested, assert a confidence in individuals' ability to solve problems in cooperation with others & to assume personal & collective responsibilities. It is concluded that Montreal's pragmatic & proactive forms of urban action represent the local political scene & characterize the unity of individual autonomy & collective solidarity. 44 References.
