Summary
Political Scientists and sociologists have specialized on two different sectors of political representation: political parties and interest groupls for the first; social movements for the second. This division has left open a lacuna in the relations between movements and parties that recent scholars in both fields have worked to fill. The task has become more pressing in the current period, when parties have “hollowed out” and civil society has produced a “movement society.” This chapter charts these recent efforts and attempts to merge them in a new approach to American political development
