THE DYNAMICS OF MOBILIZATION - TRANSFORMING POTENTIAL INTO PROTEST PARTICIPATION Introduction  Mobilization refers to the processes that link the demand for protest among the population with the supply of protest opportunities to generate actual protest participation.  It involves three interrelated components: 1. Consensus formation 2. Consensus mobilization 3. Action mobilization  Together these transform potential into participation through social processes operating at the macro, meso, and micro levels. Consensus Formation  At the individual level, people interpret sociopolitical circumstances through social interaction within their networks.  Macro-level factors shape social cleavages and discursive fields in society, delimiting the boundaries of meaning.  At the meso-level, social networks connect people and facilitate collective identity formation.  At the micro-level, individuals are active constructors of meaning, drawing on diverse resources like media, experience, and discourse.  Political consciousness integrates individual and contextual factors into shared grievances and awareness. Consensus Mobilization  Organizers deliberately attempt to spread their views among the population to build mobilization potential.  They link grievances to solutions through ideological framing and collective action frames.  Frame alignment gets individuals to act in line with the movement's framing of the issues.  Identification with the movement makes its framing resonate so that appeals match motivations. Framing  Framing is the process of constructing meaning about problems, their causes, moral judgments, and potential solutions.  Diagnostic framing identifies the specific problem at hand and attributes blame.  Prognostic framing suggests solutions, strategies, and tactics for addressing the problem.  Motivational framing provides the rationale or call to action.

Consensus Formation  At the individual level, people interpret sociopolitical circumstances through social interaction within their networks.  Macro-level factors shape social cleavages and discursive fields in society, delimiting the boundaries of meaning.  At the meso-level, social networks connect people and facilitate collective identity formation.  At the micro-level, individuals are active constructors of meaning, drawing on diverse resources like media, experience, and discourse.  Political consciousness integrates individual and contextual factors into shared grievances and awareness.
