Sosyal Hareket Teorisi: A mobilizáció forrása a struktúrált tényező – egy gondolkodási történet

Social movement theory is an interdisciplinary body of thought within the social sciences that generally seeks to explain why social mobilization occurs and the forms it takes. Studies within this framework focus on the formation and functioning of social movements and their potential social, cultural, and political consequences.

The Kite Society theory developed in the 1930s and 1940s under the influence of fascist and communist movements. Its basic claim is that socially isolated people are more vulnerable to extremism. The intellectual underpinning of this theory is the analysis of Émile Durkheim. Durkheim argued that the emergence of industrial society led to two problems: anomie and egoism. Arthur Kornhauser applied this theory to social movements in his book The Politics of Mass Society, arguing that the erosion of the buffers between the elite and the non-elite makes people more susceptible to social movements.
