  1. Institutionalising Marginal Actors: Processes, Policies, Practices and Pitfalls University of Edinburgh, 18-19 September 2013 UoE-TISS Collaboration

  2. UKIERI Project • “Marginal Populations, Social Mobilisation and Development” aims to study the intersections of development processes, social identities and marginalisation. • In 2012 we interacted with advocacy groups, policy makers and representatives of marginal populations, as well as relevant academic experts. • Now, turning our gaze to how the marginalised negotiate or transcend the margins.

  3. Institutionalisation ‘The process whereby marginal groups develop internal organisation, become more moderate, adopt a more institutional repertoire of action and integrate into the system of interest representation’ (Della Porta & Diani 1999) Institutionalisation in the broadest sense can be defined as the process by which originally personal norms, expectations, goals and values tend to form a collective pattern, a pattern by which interactions and communications are regulated and structured. The process of institutionalisation can be divided into three parts: (1) organisational growth; (2) internal institutionalisation; (3) external institutionalisation (Van Der Heijden 1997).

  4. But, Institutionalisation … … into what? Politics, Civil Society, Business, Culture, Ways of doing things? … on what terms? As equals? As dependents? On the margins? … to what effect? New gains? Change of rules/norms? Integration into dominant norms? Exclusion of others?

  5. The Workshop • Complex, Contingent and Contested processes of institutionalisation for multiple actors • Two-Days • Hopes for publication
