Unsichere Zukünfte und die Entstehung von Kooperation: Wie Erwartungen kollektives Handeln ermöglichen

Arbeitspapier

The paper develops a sociological approach for understanding the role of expectations in collective action. It argues that an approach based on expectations is better suited to explain collective action in episodes of social change than existing sociological theories. Two case studies - one on the European trade union movement and one on technological innovation in the US energy sector - illustrate the usefulness of the conceptual arguments.
