Event coalitions can achieve political goals while modulating internal difference and inequality

Evidence

It is quite viable that an event coalition can form across divides—and even ultimately achieve its political goals —while modulating their inequality and differences.

Moreover, space must be created for each other, conflicts managed, and confirmatory actions enacted. — Michelle I. Gawerc, Coalition-building and the forging of…, 323
