“…I agree with Charles Tilly that the legitimacy of state organizations should be seen as an empirical question (Tilly 1984b). States may or may not be legitimate in the whole population or in parts of the population under their jurisdiction.…”

“…Rational action, the specification of means to reach goals and defend values, is developed in a grid of social relations and general conceptions of society, opportunities and constraints set by them. For that reason we might expect, as Tilly suggests (Tilly 1984b(Tilly , 1986, that rational action historically and typically clusters around a limited set of action repertoires. The freedom of the individual is circumscribed in some way, to a certain 28 Nicos Mouzelis (1975) makes the point that the autonomy of one unit (a group of people) should be studied in its 'organizational context as a whole' and not only through data about how individuals perceive that context.…”

“…Desde o desafio de Olson (1965), que impediu qualquer tradução direta de interesses individuais em ação coletiva, teóricos abordaram essa questão e, segundo Tilly (1985), com pouco sucesso. No entanto, estudos de Axelrod (1984) e Ostrom (1990Ostrom ( , 1998 relativizaram os trabalhos de Olson (1965) e indicaram que, além da existência de um interesse comum, a ação coletiva necessita de elementos estruturantes, que permitam aos participantes se engajarem, entre os quais a reciprocidade tem um papel de destaque.…”

The analytical framework is part of the debate on the motivation for people to engage voluntarily in collective action. In this article, the relationships of reciprocity to collective action undertaken within the scope of the peasants' organizations are addressed. The methodology consisted of a case study, with collection of secondary data, observations of cooperative events realized by the groups and interviews with residents and leaders. The results demonstrate that collective action takes different shapes, depending on the existence of reciprocal relationships among the participants of these organizations in Santa Ana.

“…Combining these criteria led us to choose the protests against the "opposition agreement", the demonstrations against the US military radar base, anti-austerity protests, antiRoma demonstrations and Islamophobic activities. 4 Our understanding of mobilisation and social movements is, in keeping with Tilly (1985Tilly ( , 1998Tilly ( , 2004, a collection of activities analogical to a campaign, not as a single organisation or group. Where necessary, we will describe the various different currents that participated in a single mobilisation.…”

The article is an analysis of the five most distinctive public mobilisations in the Czech Republic in the past 20 years. The analysis builds on two key debates regarding post-communist civil society (civil vs. uncivil society and transactional vs. participatory activism) and also on an analysis of Czech nationalism by the anthropologist Ladislav Holý. In the empirical part, it looks at the image of the nation and civil society in the cases of the movement against the opposition agreement (Thank You, Now Go, and Czech Television -A Public Affair), the movement against the American radar base, the anti-austerity protest movement, the anti-Roma protests and the islamophobic movement. The self-conception of the movements is complemented by an analysis of the images of them that were held by their opponents. The article points to the vague and indefinite nature of Czech national identity, and the fact that in the past two decades, it has been markedly connected with the image of the West and a relatively low significance of class. It also shows that "NGO-ised" transactional activism has become the subject of hostile rhetoric which may rely on the legitimacy deficit that this type of activism has. However, it concludes that to a certain extent, it shares this type of deficit with another type of civic activism; in the case of participatory activism, it identifies a dilemma between the polarisation of society and political ineffectiveness.
