Daniel Arnesen will be defending his Ph.D. dissertation on November 8. Nonprofit Advocacy Reconfigured? Resource Mobilization, Political Opportunity and Organizational Change .
We would like to use this opportunity to get to know his opponents a little better, since they are among the most prominent researchers in the field of nonprofit advocacy and government relations. Tine Figenschou has recently published an related article together with Nanna Fredheim about interest groups in Norway and their use of social media: http://hdl.handle.net/11250/2620827
The Center for Research on Civil Society and Voluntary Sector has therefore invited them to this seminar to present research on recent developments in Norway, Denmark and the United States.
