Movement research offers three interpretations which regard militancy as either a (more or less useful) instrument, as the outcome of confrontational interaction or as symbolic act. Surprisingly, however, there has been little analysis of discussion processes within and amongst social movements during which these movements negotiate and question their repertoire. Using the discussions concerning militancy and non-violence in the contest of the summit protests of the globalisation movement in 2007 in Heiligendamm and the context of the protests against the nuclear transports to Gorleben in 2001 and 2010 as an example, this article analyses how social movements themselves address the violence issue. For social movements (in Western Europe and the United States), the violence issue is predominantly a question of identity and the effectiveness of violent means is not at the core of movement discourse. At the practical level, it constitutes a coordination issue at many activities and often can only be resolved once the actors involved can look back on joint activities, are interested in further joint activities and are able to determine the goals of such activities as precisely as possible. As a result, the violence issue partially turns from a question of identity into one of pragmatism and as thus is negotiated amongst various movement strands.

Between December 5, 2013 and March 5, 20141 everybody – from government to business association, NGO and individual citizen – was able to submit her or his answers or comments to 80 questions about various aspects of copyrights in the digital era. In terms of participation, the consultation was a huge success: The Commission received 11,117 contributions, a record number that no other EC consultation has reached so far.
