“…In 2000, in the Greater Quebec Region, only 4 women (5.6 per cent) held the position of Mayor out of a total of 71 municipalities and 115 (25.5 per cent) municipal councillors were women out a total of 451 positions. Even at these low levels, it has been shown that the presence of women on municipal councils significantly modifies the political orientations adopted by municipalities with respect to the new social needs associated with the increasing labour force participation of women (Villeneuve et al, 2003).…”

Since the 1960s, urban conflicts have tended to gain prominence in most cities of advanced economies. During the same period, women have also gained prominence in urban public life, including conflict activity. Have their roles in these conflicts had possible humanising effects on urban life? More than 2000 conflicts are analysed, hypothesising that characteristics of conflicts influence the probability of women participating in them. It is found that this probability is much higher when actors come from civil society rather than from the state or the private sector and when conflicts deal with social issues rather than economic or, surprisingly, environmental issues. It is also found that this probability diminishes with time, indicating increasing institutionalisation and diversification of women's roles in urban public life.For over three decades, researchers have documented the role played by women in urban social movements and struggles, particularly those focusing on quality of life issues (Ackelsberg and Breitbart

“…Qu'est-ce à dire? Qu'une des principales demandes de l'activisme urbain féminin des années 1990 est axée sur la prise en compte des différences, celles-ci faisant partie intégrante des droits des citoyen(ne)s, afin que toutes les femmes puissent pleinement participer aux processus politiques (Wekerle et Peake, 1996 : 276;Villeneuve et al, 2003). Pickvance (1985 : 37) rappelle que « les typologies ne tombent pas du ciel mais, consciemment ou inconsciemment, reflètent les idées théoriques de leur auteur ».…”

Cahiers de géographie du QuébecAu-delà des mouvements sociaux : une typologie relationnelle des conflits urbains RésuméLa recherche quantitative systématique sur l'activité conflictuelle est née dans les années 1960. L'étude des conflits urbains, qui peuvent revêtir la forme d'activités de protestation, est très souvent réalisée dans le cadre conceptuel des mouvements sociaux urbains. Cependant, il est maintenant établi que ces conflits ne sont pas tous le fait de mouvements sociaux et que le changement social ne procède pas que des mouvements sociaux. Comment, alors, analyser adéquatement les conflits urbains auxquels prennent part des acteurs et des actrices qui ne participent pas d'un mouvement social et de ses organisations? Le texte présente une typologie qui recouvre potentiellement l'ensemble des conflits urbains, quels que soient les acteurs et actrices qui y participent. Par là, il est possible, entre autres, de mettre en lumière les différents types d'activisme urbain féminin et le rôle crucial des femmes sur la scène urbaine.Mots-clés : typologie, conflits urbains, mouvements sociaux, activisme, femmes, cohésion sociale. Abstract Beyond Social Movements: A Relational Typology of Urban ConflictsSystematic quantitative research on urban conflicts began in the 1960s. Analysis of these events is often embedded in the conceptual framework of social movements. Long viewed as the focus of these movements, it is now clear that urban conflicts are not all led by movements. Indeed, social change is often initiated by social activists who do not associate themselves with social movements or particular organizations. An important question therefore arises: How do we adequately analyze urban conflicts led by these activists? This paper presents a typology of urban conflicts in which all struggles are subsumed, regardless of who is involved. This typology sheds light on women's urban activism and on the crucial role of women in urban settings.
