Crossing the Borders of Institutionalized Politics: Social Movements as Actors of Non-Institutional Politics: From Theory to Practice

Summary/Abstract: The article attempts to conceptualize non-institutional politics, as well as shows the process of its growing role in contemporary politics. The thesis was adopted that a common element of the detailed reasons for the growing importance of non-institutional politics, which brings closer and even includes non-institutional politics into conventional politics, is protest. It constitutes the central analytical category around which to build a theoretical justification for the thesis adopted here, which states that nowadays non-institutional politics has become part of the so-called traditional politics. The arguments for this thesis can be divided into two main streams: the first, systemic, concerns the transformations that have affected the institutionalized politics within democratic systems over the last half-century, the second, participatory, refers to the multifaceted development of social movements. Both include a broad set of factors that the process of developing non-institutional policy and, consequently, increase its rank and legitimacy.
