The cases do not demonstrate this identically, however. The Suffrage case appears to have coalesced during a century with a relatively stable rate of growth. Environmentalism appears to have growth out of a decreasingly steep rate of growth. That said, the relationship between increasing urbanization and the movements, however, may present one of the clearest correlations discussed. This ferment increased as the percentage of the population residing in cities increased.
Literacy rates show similarly little variation between the cases.
The world-system also seems to have played into the creation of the movements investigated. Additionally, global accumulation appears to have been a factor. This was more apparent in the case of environmentalism but no-doubt contributed to the general state of the expanding US economy during the genesis of the Suffrage Movement, as well. In sum, as one might expect, the illustrative data and analysis employed in this thesis does not produce definitive conclusions but points to some probable generalizations. And in both cases, contemporaneous movements appear to have played an important role.
