Collective action and community ecology theories frame this study of longitudinal interorganizational networks in Croatia during the country's political transition. As time progresses toward political stability, grass-roots organizing activities shift through participation in new networks. Although engaged cross-sector communication was important in early stages of the transformation, homophilous partnering emerged as the system stabilized. System stability left room for organizations to exit the collective action network but with costs associated with centralized organizing. Over time, organizations embodied roles as ideological leaders, collective action network leaders, and within-sector network partners. We offer a unique contribution to community ecology and collective action theories with a communication-centered framework that emphasizes the nature of communication in interorganizational networks over a 4-year period.

集体行动的故事：公民社会中意识形态领袖、集体行动网络领袖和跨部门网络合作伙伴的出现

集体行动和社区生态学理论构成了对克罗地亚政治转型期间纵向组织间网络的研究。随着时间朝着政治稳定的方向发展，基层组织活动通过参与新网络而发生转变。虽然参与的跨部门沟通在转型的早期阶段很重要，但随着系统的稳定，同质合作出现了。系统稳定性为组织退出集体行动网络留下了空间，但会产生与集中组织相关的成本。随着时间的推移，组织体现了意识形态领导者、集体行动网络领导者和部门内网络合作伙伴的角色。
