Abstract

There are many different social movement frameworks and approaches used to not only analyze social movements' outcomes but also to account for why they begin and what accounts for them. But in the development of social movement scholarship over the past decades, there has been a tendency in social movement scholarship to advance by rejecting or invalidating previous frameworks. This has left scholars of social movements with unnecessarily myopic approaches over the years. More recent approaches, often in conversation with Global South scholars, have produced more holistic and integrated studies. My thesis joins this field of scholarship. I ask What benefits does a multi-framework approach to social movement theories offer to scholars? I answer this question by applying Collective Behavior, Resource Mobilization, and Social Performance Theories to the 2023 Panamanian Anti-Mining Protests.
