Dynamic Resistance: Third"Sector Processes For Transforming Neoliberalization

This paper proposes a holistic framework called dynamic resistance for analysing and animating third"sector organizations' contestations of neoliberalization. It argues that the third sector constitutes a rich terrain for transforming neoliberalization processes to promote human flourishing and social justice. Dynamic resistance comprises four elements"”rejection, resilience, resourcefulness, and reflexive practice"”within a cyclical process which can occur simultaneously at different organizational scales. Four vignettes, drawn from participatory action research, illustrate these processes at Oblong, a grassroots community group in Leeds which now runs a community centre. Despite engagement with neoliberal mechanisms, Oblong provides an example of dynamic resistance in practice, avoiding "mission drift" and prioritizing self"defined core values of equality, collectivity, empowerment, sustainability, respect and care, and being community led. Dynamic resistance suggests third"sector organizations' capacity to construct transformative social empowerment through ever"changing practices which are proactive and self"directed as well as responsive.
