| Description | The aim of this article is dual. First, it criticizes contemporary usage of "antisystemicity" as too self-contained analytical concept. In order to demonstrate this, two key theoretical traditions of the term - classification of party systems of G. Sartori and worldsystemic ("wallersteinian") research of international political economy and its challengers - are described, analyzed and mutually compared. Second, the article strives to theoretically and formally unfold, integrate and further develop the concept of antisystemic contention. This inquiry consists of analyses of three key factors of antisystemic collective action - i.e. its object, subject and relations inbetween. More specifically, the focus is on its goals and forms of action, but also on its penetration by politics and economy. In conclusion, a general three dimensional typology of antisystemic collective action is drawn from preceding analyses and offered as a methodological tool for empirical research of political contention. |
