Explanatory factors. Member involvement, organizational capacity, and transmission belts Table 4.1 presents the operationalization of the two organizational dimensions. Member involvement is an additive index that includes the following organizational features: inter- action among members, decision-making procedure, and the presence of local branches. The first item focuses on the presence or absence of a forum that facilitates the interaction among members or supporters (Xxxxx, 1986; Xxxxxx & Xxxxxxx, 2007). Despite being a restricted operationalization that does not account for the frequency of these meetings or their turnout, the presence of such a forum is considered as a prerequisite to enable the interaction among members and between members and the organization (Xxxxxx & Xxxxxxx, 2007, p. 2). The second feature looks at the decision-making procedure and, in particular, at whether members have the capacity to determine the positions and strategies of the group either through consensus or voting mechanisms (Xxxxxxxxxxxx, 2009). This 85 measurement is about the depth of participation of members regarding key factors for the mission and the future of the organization (Xxxxx et al., 1993) and relates to the perceived legitimacy that members confer to the group (Xxxxxxx, Xxxxxxxxx, & Xxxxxxx, 2013). The last item, centers on the presence or absence of local branches that xxxxxx the connections between the group and its local/regional constituency (Fraussen et al., 2015; Skocpol, 2003). That is, it looks at the organizational ability of the group to reach out to elementary members spread around a Member State, Europe or even internationally. Table 4.1.
