SOCIOL 1000 Chapter Notes - Chapter 7: Social Movement Organization, Social Movement, Nikita Khrushchev
Document Summary
Not all episodes of contention constitute social movements, and not all movements endure. Social movement: a sustained campaign of claim making, using repeated performances that advertise the claim, based on organizations, networks, traditions, and solidarities that sustain these activities.

In order to see how this combination of mechanisms was not sufficient to produce a social movement, consider the distinction between a social movement base and a social movement campaign.
