“…Social movement scholars argue that three key factors contribute to collective action: framing processes, corporate and industry opportunities, and mobilizing structures (McAdam, McCarthy, & Zald, 1996;King, 2008). Framing is the choice of particular words to formulate a problem or solution (Kahneman & Tversky, 1984) and involves the strategic use of shared 7 meanings and definitions to invoke a sense of responsibility to a cause (Benford & Snow, 2000).…”

“…Social movement theory's focus on framing, mobilization structures, and corporate and industry opportunities (McAdam et al, 1996) is valid when trying to understand the mobilization of business actors to participate in collective action. Our results extend and refine these categories by pointing at the importance of positive framing strategies, value homophily in mobilization structures, and the role of global business opportunities (Mouzas & Naudé, 2007) Participation in the emerging issue-based, multi-stakeholder networks is bound to affect the perceptions of the actors involved.…”

“…McAdam, McCarthy e Zald (2008) apresentam uma proposta de síntese que combina os três conceitos que consideram mais significativos na análise dos movimentos sociais: a estrutura de oportunidades políticas; as formas de organização disponíveis aos insurgentes, ou "estruturas mobilizadoras"; e os quadros interpretativos da ação coletiva. Associações e/ou organizações são centrais e podem ser consideradas um dos principais recursos da ação movimentalista, embora não se confundam com a mesma, na medida em que formam uma importante base daquilo que a literatura dos movimentos sociais conceitua como estruturas mobilizadoras (McAdam;McCarthy;Zald, 2008). Este conceito parte do pressuposto de que os movimentos sociais dependem das oportunidades políticas e dos significados ou quadros interpretativos (frames) dos sujeitos sociais para o desencadeamento da ação coletiva, potencializada de forma significativa pela existência de estruturas de organizações prévias que dão suporte, fornecem modelos e, fundamentalmente, constroem novos significados e bases de argumentos.…”

“…Sometimes they do, as in Argentina in 2001 (Borland and Sutton 2005), but often they do not, for example, in the Faroe Islands and Finland in the early 1990s. If efforts to generalize about the societal conditions triggering large-scale protests and revolts constitute a major topic in social movement research (Andrews and Biggs 2006;Davies 1962;McAdam, McCarthy, and Zald 1996;Opp and Gern 1993), the protests in Iceland provide an opportunity to study what happens when an economic crisis triggers large-scale public protest, contributing to the limited empirical work on crisis-evoked mass revolt in affluent democratic societies.…”
