Much of this information is in the form of models, and of describing exactly how each of these models works. There is not space in this summary to go over even one of these models in sufficient detail to give you a proper idea of how it is supposed to work, so I have resorted to a frankly incomplete analysis of the main model that is the subject of the chapter. Since you will probably not even have time during the exam to lay out this model, I think that my brevity can be excused. Toward that end, Tilly proposes a model with seven component parts. For this portion of the summary, I will cover the first four parts in brief- and that will be all I do for now, in light of limited space and time.
Interest affects organization and mobilization unidirectionally.
Organization also affects mobilization, also unidirectionally. Mobilization in turn affects collective action, also unidirectionally. The remaining variables are discussed in Chapter 4, which will follow. This is the meat of the summary. The idea of organization follows directly from the concepts of categories and networks.
