Publication Type: Conference Paper/Unpublished Manuscript Review Method: Peer Reviewed Abstract: In collective action studies, social movement scholars have explored the role of social networks in influencing individuals’ decision to participate in collective action. The proliferation of Internet technologies and recently Web 2.0 technologies has made it possible to galvanize support among like-minded individuals for different causes. In cognizance of the significance in both offline and online social networks in mobilizing individuals to participate in collective action, this paper examines the functions of activist bloggers’ social networks, and ascertains what goes behind the “social” in online, formal and informal settings. This study focuses on political bloggers as collective action participants. Through 41 in-depth interviews supported by a small-scale survey, we found that social networks influenced activism participation among activist bloggers. In addition, online, formal and informal networks played different roles, and overlaps of networks were also observed among activist bloggers.
