social movement research bleg
Movement gurus: Best research on how movements demobilize after a policy victory? I knew we have some on civil rights post-1964. Other good articles/books? My own work focuses on electoral victories (e.g., antiwarriors demobilized after Obama won). How about policy victories?

Hahahahaha, they don’t demobilze! (If they can help it.) They just find a new cause. Orgs 101.

… or they ask for the same victory, again and again. I have observed this on health policy: a five-year plan calls for another five-year plan, and half of the policy goal is therefore long-term reproduction. Many states buy into it when there are well-established clienteles for organised segments of medicine.

Probably not exactly what you are asking, but RAND recently released an interesting study on why terrorist organizations disband. Their short answer: almost always either political integration or local police and intelligence work.
