The five stages of social movements are:
-
Emergence: A social issue is identified, leading to initial awareness and the formation of a group.
-
Coalescence: The movement gains momentum as participants organize, develop strategies, and articulate clear goals.
-
Bureaucratization: The movement becomes more structured, often forming formal organizations to sustain efforts and expand outreach.
-
Institutionalization: The movement seeks to influence policies and gain legitimacy within existing systems, which may lead to co-optation.
-
Decline: The movement may fade due to various factors, including achieving its goals, internal conflicts, or external pressures.
