dbpprop:abstract
  • Resource mobilization is a sociological theory that forms part of the study of social movements. It stresses the ability of movement's members to acquire resources and to mobilize people towards the furtherance of their goals. [Kendall 2006] In contrast to the traditional collective behaviour paradigm that views social movements as deviant aberrations, resource mobilization--which emerged in the 1970s--views social movements as formed by rational social institutions and social actors taking political action. [Buechler 1999]
