“…"One definition current in the Anglo-European literature on social movements defines [political space] in terms of political opportunity structure [...] (Flint 1998, 5) It is summarized by Charles Brocket as "the presence of allies and support groups; the availability of meaningful access points in the political system; the capacity of the State for repression; elite fragmentation and conflict and the temporal location in the cycle of protest" (Brockett 1991). Human rights movements, students" movements for better education conditions, and the frequent articulations of other non-governmental organisations (NGOs) in Manipur such as Kuki Inpi Manipur (KIM) and (UNC) United Naga Council, are a few examples of supposedly highest level of civil organisations that are fighting for better political space within the existing political space provided by democratic governance.…”

Alcanzando menor consenso se sumarían a estas cuatro transformaciones políticas otros factores relevantes para la movilización como v) la conexión con alguna eventualidad internacional favorable (Ibarra et al, 2002), o aspectos menos coyunturales como vi) la capacidad del Estado para desarrollar políticas públicas (Rucht, 1999;Neveu, 2000) y vii) para ejercer la represión (Brockett, 1991;Della Porta, 1999). ser más o menos directos o mediados por representantes o autoridades locales. Por su parte, en la contienda política los repertorios son acciones más o menos "innovadoras" y "disruptivas", orientadas a desafiar a autoridades, instituciones, élites u otros actores, en pos de una "causa".…”

“…No obstante, cuando es indiscriminada (difusa), reactiva (ex post facto), ilegal (sucia), y niega concesiones de todo tipo, aparta a los moderados del gobierno y se provoca tal sensación de indignación entre la disidencia que, en vez de fragmentarlos, acentúa sus solidaridades (Tarrow, 2011: 211). Diversos estudios (Brockett, 1991;Della Porta, 1999;Rojas Pedemonte, 2013) han destacado modalidades contraproducentes en la represión de la protesta.…”
