Specific Research Goals/Questions1. How do the networks of Czech SMOs look
like? Are there differences between the distribution of particular network properties in the case of post-materialistically-oriented ‘new’ SMOs and the ‘old’ type of participatory activism?
2. What accounts for the observed variation in network properties?

Two Modes of Activism
Participatory activism - its strength and legitimacy depends on its ability to mobilize a significant number of followers, who also supply it with necessary resources (trade unions…).
Transactional activism - its strength depends on its (transactional) capacity to link up with other organizations, and integrate them into broader platforms (environmentalists, human rights…).

Expectations
Descriptive part
Two different network structures – a dense networking of transactional activists and a less dense networking of participatory activists
Explanatory part
The bigger the exposure to international assistance programs, the bigger the capacity on the part of a local organization to assume a central position within inter-organizational networks.

Data: Czech SMOs Survey
- sectors: environmental, women’s rights, gay and lesbian, civil rights, developmental, agrarian, social services, radical Left groups, and trade unions
- snow-ball sampling (some sectors supplemented by expert knowledge), 70 % response rate, N=220
- key informant face-to-face interviewing using a standardized questionnaire, October 2007 – December 2009

Operationalization
Two dimensions of horizontal transactional capacity: „real“ (sharing resources) and „nominal“ (potential facilitation of information flow)
Real ties – existing relations of cooperation among SMOs – all-degree centrality measure
Nominal ties – position of actor within the whole network – betweenness centrality measure
