“…Most studies examining the outcome of social movements have focused on legislative and policy changes (e.g., Amenta and Caren, 2004;Soule and King, 2006;Johnson, 2008), while the organizational mechanisms and changes entailed in implementing legislation and policy have been largely ignored. The few studies that have focused on movements' effects on organizations have been concerned primarily with intended changes such as the growth of the grass-fed beef market, the creation of insurance cooperatives, and the formation and survival of alternative energy producers (e.g., Weber, Heinze, and DeSoucey, 2008;Schneiberg, King, and Smith, 2008;Sine and Lee, 2009).…”

In this paper, we examine the dual role that social movement organizations can play in altering organizational landscapes by undermining existing organizations and creating opportunities for the growth of new types of organizations. Empirically, we investigate the impact of a variety of tactics employed by the Woman's Christian Temperance Union (WCTU), the leading organizational representative of the American temperance movement, on two sets of organizations: breweries and soft drink producers. By delegitimating alcohol consumption, altering attitudes and beliefs about drinking, and promoting temperance legislation, the WCTU contributed to brewery failures. These social changes, in turn, created opportunities for entrepreneurs to found organizations producing new kinds of beverages by creating demand for alternative beverages, providing rationales for entrepreneurial action, and increasing the availability of necessary resources.

“…The outcome of acceptance is often viewed as a critical precursor to substantive legislative victories [22]. However, Amenta et al [45] note that, because democratic governments usually recognize movements and interest groups as legitimate challengers, scholars have largely moved beyond viewing acceptance as a movement outcome, preferring instead to focus on "a modified version of Gamson's "inclusion", or challengers who gain state positions through election or appointment, which can lead to collective benefits" ( [43], p. 291). As we noted above, the conservative Evangelical movement has been widely acknowledged as being exceptionally successful at both entering and developing an enduring bond with the GOP (Grand Old Party, or Republican Party) [46].…”

Abstract:In the following, we characterize the contemporary conservative Evangelical movement as an example of contentious politics, a movement that relies on both institutional and noninstitutional tactics to achieve political outcomes. Examining multiple institutional and legislative outcomes related to the Faith Based Initiative, we seek to understand why some states have established state faith-based bureaucracies and passed significantly more faith-based legislation. We find that the influence of elite movement actors within state Republican parties has been central to these policy achievements. Furthermore, we find that the presence of movement-inspired offices increase the rate of adoption of legislation, and the passage of symbolic policies increases the likelihood of passage of more substantive faith-based legislation. We argue that the examination of multiple outcomes over time is critical to capturing second order policy effects in which new institutions, the diffusion of legislation and institutions, and increasing policy legitimacy may shape subsequent legislative developments.

“…Second, cultural change or changes in the social norms and behaviors in which political actors operate, have been studies the least (see review in Earl 2004). The third, political change, or those effects of movement activities that alter in some way the movements' political environment, have been studied most often (see reviews in Amenta and Caren 2004;Burstein and Linton 2002;Giugni , 2008Uba 2009). Research on the biographical, cultural, and political outcomes of social movements has provided a number of important insights into the conditions and processes through which movements succeed or fail.…”
