Resources Shifting Values : Online and Offline Resources in Swedish Civil Society

Johansson, Håkan LU and Scaramuzzino, Gabriella LU (2022) In Palgrave studies in third sector research p.295-317
Abstract
Resources have always been at the heart of civil society theorizing. While many earlier theories have focused on resources in the forms of money, people, ideas, or personnel, recent debates highlight the Internet and social media as new environments for resource mobilization. This chapter contributes to current research by comparing the human, economic, and political resources accumulated both offline and online by several social mobilization campaigns active on Swedish Facebook and Twitter; it also discusses the value of different resources and considers whether the use of social media has contributed to a devaluation of the traditional resource base of civil society in Sweden.
