RESOURCE-MOBILIZATION THEORY
model of social movements that emphasizes political context and goals but also states that social movements are unlikely to emerge without the necessary resources.
EMERGENCE

ROUTINIZATION OR INSTITUTIONALIZATION
the final stage of a social movement, in which it is institutionalized and a formal structure develops to promote the cause.
COALESCENCE
the second stage of a social movement, in which resources are mobilized (i.e., concrete action is taken) around the problems outlined in the first stage.
SOCIAL MOVEMENT ORGANIZATION
Example
a group developed to recruit new members and coordinate participation in a particular social movement; these groups also often raise money, clarify goals, and structure participation in the movement.
Ex. NAACP
GRASSROOTS ORGANIZATION

MODERNITY
social relations characterized by rationality, bureaucratization, and
objectivity as well as individually created by nonconcentric, but overlapping, group affiliations.
