Publication Type: Conference Paper/Unpublished Manuscript Abstract: As the end of long-standing authoritarianism in the late twentieth century provoked the global growth of new social movements in the Third World, scholars have increasingly been attentive to how new social movements matter for democratic progress. Based on secondary sources, I analyze with comparative and historical perspective numerous cases of new social movements in North and South Americas and Europe and their impact on democracy. Despite daunting theoretical and methodological problems of studying movement outcomes and disparate historical and social conditions producing diverse, contending views of movement effects, my research confirms that institutionalization of movements is a major, though not sole, mechanism for consolidating and advancing democracy as it acquires an institutional route to influence state policy-making and allows movement groups to forge political alliance with reformist power elites within polity. Movement institutionalization is facilitated only under specific juncture in which particular characters of movement organization blend with favorable political opportunities, of which traits are much variant by time and context. Yet movement institutionalization promotes democracy as long as social movement organization maintains identity and autonomy vis-�-vis state power, state is open, and democratic parties sustain a stronghold inside the government.
