Social movements outcomes has been analysed by different perspectives. Only recently social movements studies start to focus on the unanticipated consequences of social movements strategies and collective action. Talking about unanticipated consequences of social movements meets the need of deeper understanding social, political and cultural change and poses some important questions for social movements research. The article aims to outline some of these questions, also stressing on the reasons why social movements scholars paid little attention to the study of unanticipated consequences of social movements in the past; it also aims at proposing a new classification starting from the Weber's social action ideal type, with particular attention to the Merton's and Boudon's works. Finally, some methodological considerations will be made in order to better understand empirical issues around the topic. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
