Ruchy społeczne a partie polityczne. Współpraca i konflikt

Abstracts

PL

Nowe ruchy społeczne, które są oparte o wartości i tożsamości społeczno-kulturowe, tworzą nowe wspólnoty funkcjonujące poza tradycyjnym obszarem polityki. Relacje między nowymi ruchami społecznymi a partiami są złożone. Z jednej strony w procesie instytucjonalizacji ruchy społeczne wkraczają w sferę polityki, z drugiej zaś partie polityczne, starając się przyciągać wyborców i zwolenników, wdrażają w swojej działalności narzędzia typowe dla ruchów. Artykuł dotyczy obszaru pogranicza nowych ruchów społecznych i partii rozumianych jako formy zbiorowego działania. Celem badania jest demarkacja pola ich wzajemnego wpływu, a także identyfikacja mechanizmów tego wpływu oraz omówienie problematyki ambiwalencji i niestabilności, które oddziałują na dynamikę zmiany wewnątrz systemów politycznych.

New social movements, focused around values and sociocultural identities, shape new communities outside the traditional field of party politics. On one hand, in their institutionalization, social movements enter the political sphere, and on the other, political parties strive to attract voters and supporters by application of tools typical for social movements. The subject of this paper is the border area between new social movements and parties, understood primarily as modes of collective action. The study aims at delineating the field of their mutual influence and at identifying its mechanisms, and explores the problems of ambivalence and instability affecting the dynamics of change within political systems.
