Sotsiologicheskie podkhody k analizu obshchestvennykh dvizheniy [Sociological Approaches to the Analysis of Social Movements],

  • A review of the main theoretical approaches to the study of social movements in Western societies. The predominant models of the 1960s were the theories of collective behavior and mass society as conceptualized by Erich FROMM, U. Kornhauser, Herbert Blumer, S. M. Lipset, etc, which assume the empirical framework of a democratic society based on the consensus of various group inter-ests, but also the instability of primary social groups and social isolation of individuals. Criticisms directed toward these theories are discussed. Resource mobilization theory emerged in the 1970s, conceptualized by I. McCarthy, M. Zald, A. Oberschall, etc, and assuming that social movements are based on existing institutions that facilitate social change. Social organization for change adopts the goals of the institutions of the dominant culture, but attributes different values to them and seeks different means for their implementation. Both external (level of legal state development, financial and social potential) and internal (groups involved, time spent on organization, money) factors determine the success of social movements. Western social movments of the 1980s are characterized by larger groups with varied interests, reflecting the globalization of the society itself, and calling for new structural theoretical models.
