Talk:Mass mobilization

Educational assignment discussion
I aim to improve this page as an assignment for a class in Carnegie Mellon University, upon first impression, it seems like real world examples would make this idea easier to understand. Would it be relevant to discuss the protests in Iran which utilized the twitter platform to coordinate their actions?

I think that's a good start. Maybe the use of social media would be a section of its own. We can try to pinpoint the earliest times when social media was used to organize people. For example: http://www.fastcompany.com/1720692/egypt-protests-mubarak-twitter-youtube-facebook-twitpic from Jan 2011

Iran, like you said (June 2009): http://www.time.com/time/world/article/0,8599,1905125,00.html

Columbia, in February 2008: http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=18689653

Would this topic cover March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom and similar events? If so, I think we'd have to cover these offline mobilization attempts thoroughly as well.

Yes, we can use these examples and call them something like Online/Social Media examples. upon quick googling I found a paper, and I'm not sure how helpful it can be but it relates to mass mobilization in the form of culture and community as a whole. Check it out and tell me if you think it has potential to be relevant in this wiki context: http://www.march.es/ceacs/proyectos/dtv/pdf/Terrorist%20Violence%20and%20Popular%20Mobilization%20P&S.pdf

Needed work
Currently the article needs a lot of work. All the content is in the header/abstract, and that has no in-line citation, so it seems like someone's essay. A quick Google Scholar seach on Mass Mobilization shows a ton of material, from at least the Soviet revolution to mobilizing voter turnout in the US to use of technology for mobilizing the masses. A Google Scholar search using the keywords ("mass mobilization" review) gets material that is broad enough for an encyclopedia article.

How should this article be structured -- around events, like the Arab Spring or voter turnover, or around methods of mobilization, like internet-based ones? Robertekraut (talk) 17:29, 23 March 2012 (UTC)

Thanks

 * I've done that for you now. Separating refs in columns by specifying the number of columns is generally considered a lesser option than separating them by width, so I used 30em instead of 2. Since the template is using list-defined references, you had to replace   with  . ☺ ·   Salvidrim!   ·  &#9993;  09:30, 29 November 2014 (UTC)

article name
I do not have any personal preference but this Google trend shows that social mobilization is more widely searched term.

evolution trends of social mobilisation
This article focuses more on revolution and on mass side. Even in non violent movements there are more aspects to be covered. One is every time a movement need not label as non violent except few large mass mobilisations most of social mobilisation is neither mass nor popular. Social mobilisation activities of NGOs can just be simply evolutionary (not revolutionary) and many times are focused on specific target area/people and not necessarily would have a large popular support either.

mass mobilization and popular mobilization are part of social mobilisation. and social mobilisation can not be part of mass mobilisation. So one is article needs to cover more aspects to make it more balanced. secondly article name needs to be revisited on this count also

Student assignment
Hello everyone, I am doing a assignment for the University of Amsterdam on this article and I would like to make some suggestions to improve it. - Make a paragraph about the mass mobilisation against the government before or after the paragraph about mass mobilisation for the government. Examples could be about equal right, against wars, against the leader or whole system. - Write a paragraph about the collective action problem and free riders problems mass movements have to overcome. - Expand the paragraph about social media. Now it looks like it is a positive factor, but there are several sources saying it makes mass mobilisation harder. Especially in autocratic states. I'm going to work on this in the coming weeks. If you have any other suggestions please tell me! 11050411J (talk) 08:40, 25 April 2019 (UTC)
 * Those are good ideas, just please remember to cite your sources for every sentence (or paragraph if it's one source for the entire one). And if using a book, please cite page numbers. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus&#124; reply here 04:40, 26 April 2019 (UTC)

University Assignment
Hello everyone, I will be working on this article for an assignment for my course at the University of Amsterdam. I was thinking about improving the "Mass mobilisation for social movements" part. Collective action problem is mentioned as to why people need incentives to participate in a social movement. However, the factors that lead people to mobilise in large groups is also important. This could be done by giving examples from different social movements with different underlying starting points. Furthermore, I would like to focus more on voter mobilisation as a part of governments’ strategy to increase the voter turnout rates. For example, the campaigns that target mostly the youth in the UK during the Brexit referendum the increase the youth participation. Additionally, I would like to touch upon the use of internet channels to mobilise voters both in the UK and the US. However, I’m not sure which sub-topic this would fit better; government mass mobilisation or mass mobilisation in social media. I will add more ideas to this discussion as I do more research. Please let me know any suggestions or complaints. Thank you! --Denizmanzarası (talk) 12:14, 9 April 2020 (UTC)
