Abstract
- The mobilization to defeat the United States-Canada Free Trade Agreement is used as a point of departure for reflections on the role political processes play in social movement mobilization Previous articles in this Journal presented a resource mobilization-political opportunities paradigm in the study of social movements This article expands this paradigm's analytic reach to a country that has contributed little research to the ongoing debate about social movement mobilization Adopting a political process perspective, political institutions, political opportunities, and social and political organizations shaped the emergence and mobilization of the popular campaign This case can strengthen a generalized understanding of those political factors most conducive to the interesting interplay and outcome of movement, party, and electoral politics [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
