Those who wish to move the labor movement toward this vision of social movement unionism would do well to examine this work for its insights. --Jacob Lesniewski, Social Service Review The study is an interesting and convincing discussion of why an organization may expand its interests and even support causes or ideas that seem to violate the self-interests of its members. It should add significantly to both the literature on collective action and institutional choice. --Choice Author InformationJohn S.
