Prevailing explanations of the increase in collective action surrounding victims' rights in early 1980s Canada generally follow the precepts of political process, resource mobilization, and framing approaches in social-movements research by depicting the movement as a corollary of contemporary organizational, political, and cultural conditions. We...
The paper explores the enabling and constraining effects of culture on the framing efforts of social movements by examining the use of children in materials produced by opposing sides of the Newfoundland "Confederation debate" of 1948. Cultural perceptions of children as "future citizens" of the nation coincided with a denominational schooling syst...
The ‘Irish question’ encompassed negotiations leading to the partition of Ireland in 1921. The paper considers factors that contributed to the growing tendency for the major players involved in the struggle – Irish nationalists, unionists and British officials – to adopt postures that were mutually irreconcilable. Conceptualising the problem in ter...
Abstract The following attempts to clarify the origins and character of the “movement” toward Catholic emancipation in the British empire by examining the negotiation of two early relief measures, the Quebec Act (1774) and the Irish Catholic Relief Act (1778), from an institutional perspective. It explores how institutions structuring Anglo-Quebec...
While the literature on master frames has drawn attention to the crucial role of ideas in cycles of protest, reliance on the creation of frame resonance to account for the success or failure of a social movement within a cycle can be problematic. Applying propositions adapted from McAdam, McCarthy, and Zald (1996), this article traces how political...

... Before Finland declared its autonomy in the aftermath of the Russian Revolution that same year, a movement formed to reunify Åland with Sweden, the so-called Motherland of the Ålanders. However, as a former part of the Russian Grand Duchy of Finland, the Åland Islands were deemed to be Finnish (Stanbridge 2002). ...
... Other suggestions, however, were far from those of a feminist-inspired strategy, such as a call for a free vote on the reinstatement of capital punishment (Government of Canada, 1983). These retributive Task Force outcomes had little to do with the specific needs of women as victims of sexual violence, and were rooted more in a number of tragic events at that time in Canada involving multiple child murders that left RAPE NARRATIVES IN VICTIM IMPACT STATEMENTS families demanding greater accountability of the criminal justice system and more punitive sentencing of serious violent offenders (Stainbridge & Scott, 2009). 3 In the years following the Task Force, the Canadian government introduced several changes to the Criminal Code to enhance the role of victims in the criminal justice process and in 1989, it was determined that victim impact statements could be given in camera at sentencing hearings. ...
... Using press releases from four Israeli SMOs and three Israeli governments, he also found that SMOs use culturally resonant symbols to bring their message to the public, and competing SMOs then attack the link between the other SMOs message and symbol. Framing and Debates: The Effects of Media Coverage on Candidate Evaluations St. Charles 8 Stanbridge (2002) examines the relationship between master frames and political opportunity, something which she argues is an important factor for frame resonance. ...
... This mainstream approach, applied mostly by sociologists or political scientists in Canada, is largely influenced by questions emerging from the post-1960s American (resource mobilization, political process, transnational contentious politics) and/or European (new social movements ) theoretical traditions in the field. Mainstream scholars tend to shy away from engagement with either classical or contemporary theoretical treatments of society, social change, and structure and agency (Marx, Gramsci, Weber, Foucault, Bourdieu), preferring to employ a variety of methodologies and cases in empirical studies identifying the central macro-, meso-, and micro-level mechanisms that account for movement emergence, maintenance, successes, or failures (Wilkes 2006; 2004; Stanbridge 2007; 2005; Kowalchuk 2005; Ramos 2006; Staggenborg and Lang 2007; Cormier 2004; Fetner 2001; Tindall 2002; Smith 1999). ...
