In peaceful transitions such movements may become influential political players and gain representation for previously neglected interests and sectors of the population. But for this to happen insurgent social movements need both opportunities for mobilization and opportunities to succeed and survive. What happens to insurgent social movements that emerge during a democratic transition but fail to achieve their goals? How influential are they? To answer these questions, Maria Inclan looks at Mexico's Zapatista movement, whose emergence she argues was caught between 'sliding doors' of mobilization opportunity. The Zapatistas were able to mobilize sympathy and support for the indigenous agenda inside and outside of the country, yet failed to achieve their goals vis-a-vis the Mexican state. Nevertheless, the movement has survived and sustained its autonomy despite lacking legal recognition. Inclan examines the vitality of the movement during various tests of the emergent democracy (during more competitive elections, under various political parties, and amid various repressive measures). She also looks at state responsiveness to movement demands and the role of transnational networks in the movement's survival. She extends these into a more general test of the quality of young democracies, to identify the extent to which emerging political forces incorporate dissident and previously excluded political actors into democratic polities"-- $c Provided by publisher. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references and index. 505 0 $a Democratic transitions and political opportunities -- Opportunities for mobilization : Openings, elites, allies, and threats -- Opportunities for success : negotiations, elites, and allies -- Opportunities for survival : transnational solidarity networks and discourse framing -- Zapatistas between sliding doors of opportunities. 610 20 $a Ejercito Zapatista de Liberacion Nacional (Mexico) 610 27 $a Ejercito Zapatista de Liberacion Nacional (Mexico) $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00699014 650 0 $a Social movements $z Chiapas $z Chiapas $v Case studies. 650 0 $a Democracy $z Mexico $x History. 650 0 $a Democratization $z Mexico. 651 0 $a Mexico $x Politics and government $y 1988-2000. 651 0 $a Mexico $x Politics and government $y 2000- 650 7 $a Democracy. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00890077 650 7 $a Democratization. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00890123 650 7 $a Politics and government. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01919741 650 7 $a Social movements. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01122657 651 7 $a Mexico. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01211700 651 7 $a Mexico $z Chiapas. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01202769 648 7 $a Since 1988 $2 fast 655 7 $a Case studies. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01423765 655 7 $a History. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411628 776 08 $i Online version: $a Inclan, Maria de la Luz, author. $t Between the sliding doors of opportunity $d New York, NY : Oxford University Press, [2018] $z 9780190869472 $w (DLC) 2018026242 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20191214011940.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=23F8C53E2E9411E9B5CB1E4197128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
