Mobilization — An International Quarterly
Summary
Mobilization: An International Quarterly — “the leading research review of social movements, protests, and contentious politics”, advancing the study of these phenomena by providing a forum to refine and innovate methodologies, theories, and concepts across the social-science disciplines. Recognising the globalisation of both the research community and the movements studied, the journal uses the official name Mobilization: An International Quarterly; the current production domain is the KGL Meridian instance at mobilization.kglmeridian.com.

Body
Mobilization: An International Quarterly is the peer-reviewed academic journal of the Social Movement Analysis section of the American Sociological Association, dedicated to the study of social movements, protests, and contentious collective action [source: mobilization-journal]. The journal was founded in 1996 and publishes four issues per year from its editorial home at San Diego State University, covering theoretical, empirical, and methodological work on social movements across disciplines [source: mobilization-journal]. It is one of the two anchor academic journals for the social-movement-studies field (alongside Journal of Peace Research and American Sociological Review contributions) [source: mobilization-journal].
Coverage: the journal publishes peer-reviewed articles on the dynamics of mobilisation; the organisational, ideological, and tactical dimensions of movements; framing and discourse analysis; repression and facilitation; transnational movements; digital and ecological movements; and methodological innovation in movement studies [source: mobilization-journal]. The journal is widely cited across sociology, political science, communication, and geography, and is one of the standard publication outlets for academic career-stage researchers in the field [source: mobilization-journal].
A campaigner reaches for it when sourcing the academic literature on a specific social-movement case study, when citing the field-defining peer-reviewed work for a research-design or grant-narrative piece, or when designing a graduate-level reading list for social-movement studies [source: mobilization-journal].
