A processual perspective links specific conditions to workers’ political recognition capacities.

Evidence

Our processual perspective on how different identity framings emerged in each case, so we hope, may help not only to make sense of specific dynamics of labor mobilization in highly fragmented sectors, but also to illuminate which conditions allow for which capabilities to trigger processes of political recognition and recomposition. — Donatella della Porta et al., Mobilizing Against the Odds, 120
