Levels of Social Movements: Local, State, and Global
Captions available
The idea
Social movements operate at local, state, and global levels, from a campus issue to a statewide referendum to an international humanitarian cause.
In practice
A campus protest, a statewide referendum campaign, and an international NGO's poverty-reduction campaign illustrate the same structure at three scales.
Where people slip
A movement's level describes its scope, not likely success; movements can grow, shrink, or change scale over time.
