| Question | Answer |
| Focus of first theories on SMs | Motivation Factors that motivate SMs EX: Racial discrimination |
| Mobilization | 2nd generation: more attention to resources making possible mobilization Motives widespread but resources limited RESOURCE MOBILIZATION THEORY |
| 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) |
| Morris' finding of which 2 organizations that made possible the success of the Civil Rights Movement? | Churches and Universities Orchestrated the sit-ins |
| Churches and Universities provided what types of resources? (1) | Human: lots of people to join movement (ministers are talented speakers and students have leadership skills & lots of time) |
| Churches and Universities provided what types of resources? (3) | Moral: Status legitimized movement Cultural: intertwine religion and movement Material: Financial and safe environment |
| Churches and Universities provided what types of resources? (1) | Organizational: able to spread message; coordinate movement Networks: linking orgs; allowed diff churches and schools to combine and coordinate efforts |
| Two camps in RMT | 1. Entrepreneurial 2.Political Process Model |
| Entrepreneurial (RMT) | SM leaders are rational entrepreneurs work towards movement success Concern: Free riders and need for selective incentives Conclusion: SM becoming professionalized |
| 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 |
