Preferred term

exchange coalitions  

Definition

  • A coalition is a group of two or more actors (persons, organizations) working collectively against one or more others to gain better outcomes than the outcomes possible through independent action. An exchange network approach to coalitions differs from other coalition approaches by focusing on the structural embeddedness of the causes and consequences of coalition formation.
