Frank Uggla, Global Demands and National Politics: Attac in France and Sweden

The antiglobalization organization Attac has been successful in France but has failed in Sweden. The political process model, which includes factors such as organizational strength and political opportunity structure, can be applied to explanations of AttacĄŻs success or failure. However, this model can not fully explain the differing fortunes of Attac in France and Sweden. The political process model needs to be amended to pay more attention to public opinion as a factor explaining the impact of challenging groups.
