How Contentious Politics Happen
Once we have some ideas of why contentious politics happen, we can ask, What do social movements and other groups engaged in contentious politics actually do, and how can we understand variation in their behavior? Doug McAdam, Sidney Tarrow, and Charles Tilly, in their influential book Dynamics of Contention (2001), argued that we need to analyze contentious politics as a process involving multiple actors and mechanisms. Social movements and other groups have particular resources and act within a particular political opportunity structure and cultural context. As they act, however, other political actors and institutions respond, and the context can shift as a result, leading to changes in the way the social movements respond. This iterative process plays itself out in what they term “contentious episodes” of varying lengths.
