SOCIAL MOVEMENT APPROACH TO COLLECTIVE POLITICAL VIOLENCE

14070

This study analyzes collective political violence with the theoretical and conceptual tools of social movement theory to be able to provide a more contextual and comprehensive analysis of cases of collective political violence. The study argues that the vastness of the existing literature on political violence hinders the development of a paradigmatic approach with which to study collective forms of political violence. This study supports the recent work that aims to combine the rich theoretical insights and tools of social movement theory and the literature on political violence to develop a new theoretical framework to better analyze the collective forms of political violence. The study, thus, examines the radicalization-de-radicalization cycle drawing from both the Resource Mobilization approach and New Social Movement Theory. Also, to provide a more comprehensive analysis, the processes of violent collective political mobilization are explored by focusing on their social and political context, organizational dynamics and the dynamics of individual participation.
