Explanation:
The Tea Party is essentially a grassroots movement with no specific center of leadership
(Courser, 2010). It has no defining class or level of education characteristics that set it apart.
Indeed, apart from its over-representation of whites within the movement and its
overwhelmingly conservative ideology, the movement is fairly representative demographically
and socially of the nation at large. Its main goals, along with its lack of unified leadership, make
it a decentralized grassroots level social movement.
After discussing the Tea Party’s definitions, I will introduce the two theoretical
frameworks, Political Process Theory and Issue Evolution that are commonly applied by
sociologists and political scientists when analyzing social movements. I will use the insights
provided by these theories when discussing the Tea Party and placing it into perspective of other
historical social movements. I will be using Tarrow’s definition of a social movement as the
foundation for this discussion:
“contentious politics is triggered when changing political opportunities
and constraints create incentives for social actors who lack resources on
their own. They contend through known repertoires of
contention…when backed by dense social networks and galvanized by
culturally resonant, action-oriented symbols, contentious politics leads to
sustained interaction with opponents. The result is a social movement”
(Tarrow, 2, 1998).
This broad definition as a starting point will be useful because it lays out the general foundation
of what makes a social movement, but leaves enough flexibility to apply the definition to
different cultural and political norms of specific movements.
Furthermore, I will work to integrate the themes of Political Process and Issue Evolution
theories, making the case that despite different disciplinary origins and perspectives they are not
contradictory schools of thought, but rather complementary ideas that in many cases actually use
different words and ideas to define the same concepts.
