Organisational adaptation in an activist network: social networks, leadership, and change in al-Muhajiroun.

Social networks are said to facilitate learning and adaptation by providing the connections through which network nodes (or agents) share information and experience.

This paper explores this gap through a case study of al-Muhajiroun, an activist network that continues to call for the establishment of an Islamic state in Britain despite being formally outlawed by British authorities.
