Description
Summary:To account for the peaceful mobilizations, which started in Syria in March 2011, the authors show first the irrelevance of Rational Choice and Resource Mobilization Theories. They build a model of 'Deliberative Mobilization', which puts at the core participation in small groups, in which the individuals transform their values, their calculations and their sociability. Furthermore, to account for the resilience of the regime and the start of the civil war, the authors propose the concept of 'Polarizing Crisis', characterized by a limited autonomy of social fields, an enlargement of individual tactical activities and the strategic use of violence by the State.
