  1. Political Participation- III Post-materialism, new social movements, political change

  2. What difference does clientelism make? • Impact of clientelism on political culture? • How well does clientelism mesh with • Ideological politics? • Post-materialism? • Are patron-client relationships compatible with a civil society? • Does clientelism develop or destroy social capital?

  3. Social movements: • What is a social movement? • New social movements (NSMs): • Civil rights movement (US) • Peace movement • Environmental movement • Anti-globalization movement • Anti-abortion movement

  4. Explaining new social movements: • Red-diaper babies? • Post-materialism as a source? • Framing and opportunity structure: (Sidney Tarrow, Doug Imig…) • NSMs as a product of circumstances, available opportunities • Impact of national rituals, ‘scripts’

  5. Who gets what, when, and how?--Harold Lasswell • Do the phenomena of post-materialism and the `more the more’ hypothesis mean that the demands of the poor and the working classes are always neglected?

  6. Problem: • Do post-materialism and the `more the more’ hypothesis address the same question? • Does one tell you more about who participates and the other more about the values of those who participate? • What difference does post-materialism make? • Or can the power of numbers counter the advantages of access and skill?

  7. When do revolutions occur? • The ‘J-curve’ hypothesis: revolutions do not occur in abjectly poor societies, but rather in those in which there has been some improvement.
