Resource Mobilization Theory vs NSMT NSMT - RMT Structure - Agency WHY they occur - HOW they occur Motives - Assumption of motives
Agency (RMT) SMs are planned by rational actors Inds & the resources they control affect SM Without diverse resources, not successful (needed to encourage people, coordinate, inspire, continue long-term)
Types of Mobilization Resources Human:labor, experience, skills, knowledge Material: money, car, office, communicate Moral and Cultural: Legitimacy, inspiration, symbols; inspires and mobilizes, promotes acceptance; common understanding EX: David Suzuki
Organizational Resources Focus of the literature Organizations are a means of coordinating individuals for collective action
Social Movement Organizations (SMO) Org that identifies its goals with the SM, mobilizes people to participate
Social Movement Industries (SMI) The complex of SMOs for a particular movement (all the SMOs together I think)

Two camps in RMT 1. Entrepreneurial 2.Political Process Model

Political Process Model (RMT) Tilly Focus on how states and other factors affect openings for SMs If no political opening, resources can't be effectively mobilized for a successful movement Importance of macro structures
Democracy promote SMs by: Promotes them: legitimizes public discussions, right to assemble, freedom of speech, numbers explains why SMs didn't rise until partial democratization
Democracy creates opening for SMs Regularize movement but allows it (much more dangerous to participate in SMs in non-democratic countries)
EXCEPTION Arab Spring New Mobilization Resources: communication technologies allowed mobilization despite govt Able to organize w/o pre-existing SMOs (virtual communities) Vital in communities that don't allow for vibrant civil society
