Mastering National Contextual Challenges: The Institutionalisation of LPO and Greenpeace France Compared

Résumé

How does an organisation gain autonomy from the context in which it developed its activities? In contrast with the rest of the environmental movement in France, two organisations have experienced significant growth: Ligue de protection des oiseaux (LPO) and Greenpeace France. The evolution of these two key cases is examined, the analysis focusing on processes and effects of institutionalisation to underscore how both environmental movement organisations (EMOs) succeed in reconciling resource mobilisation and advocacy activities. Both organisations choose strategically which activities to undertake and which public to target in order to ensure the continuity of their organisations. Their enhanced 'capacity for action', relying as it does on resource mobilisation and policy-oriented activities, has further geared up their contribution to their respective international NGO networks as well as to public policy processes, including European policy issues.
