“…In contrast, more progressive government ideological approaches to national urban policy might point to an active set of initiatives. Under the active government model, however, the question has long been whether the goals and objectives of revitalization are driven and supported by the communities themselves (a ''bottoms-up'' or grassroots approach) or does the national government offer a set of broader remedies that are applicable not only to cities, but point to a set of domestic policy priorities at large (Clavel, Pitt, & Yin, 1997;Haar, 1975;Rich & Stoker, 2014;Silver, 2010). 4 Yet neither ''minimalist'' nor ''engaged'' national urban policies have achieved a holistic approach to the broad range of ills facing cities (Biles, 2011;Euchner & McGovern, 2003;Ferguson & Dickens, 1999).…”

“…La dimension organisationnelle englobe également les divers répertoires d'actions (Tilly, 1976(Tilly, , 1986. La question de la professionnalisation de l'action collective (Clavel et al, 1997 ;Moulaert et al, 1997 ;Hamel et al, 2000 ) s'y inscrit également.…”

Les restructurations économiques et les nouvelles formes de régulation étatique qui accompagnent le processus de mondialisation de même que le phénomène de métropolisation qui prend de plus en plus d’importance ont transformé les agglomérations urbaines au cours des dernières décennies. Parmi les répercussions de ces transformations, deux ressortent grandement : l’accroissement des inégalités sociales et l’aggravation des problèmes environnementaux. Les actions collectives conflictuelles ont contribué à mettre au jour ces impacts et à soulever les enjeux de société qui y sont reliés. Nous présentons dans cet article les éléments de synthèse qui se dégagent du repérage d’événements conflictuels touchant aux questions de la justice sociale et de l’environnement entre 1980 et 2006 à Montréal. Nous distinguons deux types d’actions collectives : celles qui interviennent dans la ville en lien avec des problèmes généraux de société qui s’y manifestent et celles qui se concentrent sur la ville, c’est-à-dire sur le cadre de vie urbain, sur les équipements et les services de proximité ainsi que sur la gestion municipale. Nous nous intéressons aussi à la localisation de ces actions, et ce, en fonction de l’échelle des enjeux.Over the past decades, economic restructuring and new forms of state regulation that accompany globalization, alongside the rise of megacities, have changed the face of urban agglomerations. Among the many impacts, two stand out: increasing social inequality and the worsening of environmental problems. Conflictual collective actions have contributed to revealing these impacts and to address their associated social challenges. In this article, we present elements of a synthesis derived from a review of conflictual events concerning social justice and the environment from 1980 to 2006 in Montreal. Our research project distinguishes between two types of collective actions: those that address general social problems and those that are focused more specifically on the city as such and on questions concerning urban life, municipal infrastructure and municipal administration
