Answer to Question 1

According to this perspective, economic and political shifts occur, usually independently of protesters' own efforts, which open up a space or opportunities for the movement. Because this approach views movements as primarily political, making demands of the state and asking for changes in laws and policies, it regards changes in the government or state as the most important opportunity a movement needs and how it can achieve ultimate success for its goals. The first order change is often a slackening in the repression that movement organizers face, perhaps because political authorities are divided (the movement may have found some allies within the government) or because powerful political and economic actors have divergent interests. There may be a general crisis in the government, perhaps as a result of fighting (or losing) a foreign war, which distracts leaders and may bankrupt the government. In many versions of this perspective, the same factors are seen as explaining both the rise of the movement and its relative success.
