The results show a shifting balance of collaboration drivers. After 2011, political cleavages lost influence, while shared issue agendas remained more steady, though fluctuating, basis for cooperation. Interpersonal ties played only a minor role throughout.

Our statistical analyses reveal both continuity and change in collaboration logics.

Before 2011, ideological alignments strongly shaped collaboration. Afterward, their influence waned, while pragmatic ties based on shared issue agendas remained the most consistent driver.

Our study applies this framework to examine how collaboration patterns among Basque environmental organizations evolved between 2007 and 2017, during a decade marked by the end of violent conflict and major ups and downs in environmental mobilization.

To address this gap, we propose a new analytical framework that captures the dynamic interplay between political context and the grounds on which collaboration is established, maintained, or dissolved.

“The Relational Toll of Political Involvement in Polarized Times: Relationship Decay Within Activists’ Personal Networks” doi.org/10.1177/0002...

We examine its advantages and disadvantages and then provide practical insights and research design tips for those curious to explore this data collection approach (4/6)

In this methodologically oriented review, we identify 5 key approaches to data collection in collective action research. 📊
We highlight the potential of indirect-unobtrusive strategies (the "detour" in our title & type E in the figure), long available but underutilized (2/6)
