Grassroots Activism in Political Parties: the role of social networks

The concept of networks of activists working together in local parties to achieve political goals has generally been overlooked as a factor in the causes of activism. Social network analysis is rarely used to study activism in political parties. In focusing on political activism at grassroots level, the defined network of a local party can be measured and analysed. In studying the changing nature of the network over time comparisons can be made and conclusions reached about its characteristics. In this way social network analysis can be used to evaluate political activism. The meeting attendance sheets of two local parties in Sheffield, South Yorkshire (UK), were analysed and compared with separate measures of political activism. The findings are supplemented by further qualitative data concerning social networks.
