Abstract

New social movement theory (NSMT) emerged in the 1980s in Europe to analyze distinctive social movements that appeared from the 1960s onward. These movements were seen as “new” in contrast to the “old” working‐class movement. New social movements (NSMs) are organized around race, ethnicity, youth, sexuality, countercultures, environmentalism, pacifism, human rights, and the like. NSMT is a distinct approach to the study of social movements, albeit with significant internal variations (Cohen, 1985; Klandermans, 1991; Larana, Johnston, and Gusfield, 1994).
