About

The Relational Patterns between trade unions and social movements (Diani) mind map template systematically maps Mario Diani's theoretical framework for analyzing how trade unions and social movements interact. It covers four modes of coordination (MoC)—Organizational, Social Movements, Coalitonal, and subcultural/communitarian—across 73 nodes, with detailed breakdowns of resource allocation, boundary definition, and empirical cases such as 'business unionism' and 'Indignados'. This template serves as a cheat sheet for scholars and activists studying union-movement dynamics, incorporating verbatim concepts like 'multiple actors with distinct identities and profiles' and 'communities of like-minded individuals'. The visual layout organizes Diani's theory system as a central hub with four major branches, each expanding into sub-nodes for analytical dimensions and real-world examples.
