Publication Type: Paper (prepared oral presentation) Abstract: Citizens� active participation in mass political movements certainly comes of age since the end of the 60�s as a visible and quite effective socio-political phenomenon. Such mass public involvement generally starts out on the basis of individual affliction and personal motivation and evolves into collectively change public policies in a more favorable mode. Such political mobilization tendencies represent in effect a lineal consequence of the resentment and even anger, particularly among the middle class, at the nature, direction as well as results of the policy choices made by elected decision makers. Several socio-psychological factors, both on individual and group level, seem to account most for the frequency and intensity of middle class stakeholders� social protest and public participation, such as consternation, frustration and anger at their inability to control those political decision making processes that touch most on their interests. Other factors that equally influence their social protest and public participation agenda are the level of and quality of information available to afflicted citizens, their political consciousness, leadership qualities as well as their civic organizational capabilities, among other factors. The present study aims to elaborate a qualitative-analytical model of the causal and functional relations between the individual as well as collective socio-psychological factors on one hand and the frequency and intensity of their political mobilization effectiveness on the other. It evolves around the hypothesis that three main elements, namely actors, their values and relevant institutions interact in complementary and interdependent operational phases to create successful political mobilization strategies, whereas the failure of any one of them will affect the whole process.
