This paper reports results of an empirical research which aimed to identify strategic principles of intervention in favor of collective action protest. Our literature review highlights two needs for knowledge : 1. identification of sociopolitical intervention strategies supported by theoretical and empirical considerations, and 2. contextual phenomena which influence the choice of these strategies. The achievement of 27 monographs on social struggles allows identifying middle range strategies and those processes that lead actors to carry out plans that were not always planned at the starting point. In conclusion, the author retains certain principles of his observations to any professional organizer to become more strategic.
Keywords: mobilisation, protestation, mouvements sociaux, action collective, stratégie, organisation communautaire, intervention collective, animation, mobilization, protest, social movements, collective action, strategy, community organizing, macro practice, animation

In this article, the authors try to define the general conceptual framework of classical strategic thought in order to assess its relevance for the development of contemporary Strategic Studies. Our argument brings out the fact that classical strategic scholars tended to conceptualize strategy as the scientific study of conflictual actions between unitary actors, omitting by this very fact to study the sociopolitical dimensions of conflicts, the impact of military technology or the influence of organizational and decisional processes on the conduct of war. Nevertheless, classical strategic thought still offers an invaluable body of literature to understand the evolution of ideas on war, and a possible way of enriching strategic studies through the use of its distinctive comparative historical perspective.
