Description
Social movements are a particular form of collective action: collective challenges by people with common purposes in sustained interaction with other actors in an institutional field
There are three drivers of social movements: framing, mobilization and opportunity
Social movements (may) arise from institutional failures
Social movements are important because they challenge current institutions and thus may create institutional innovations
