“…It has to be noted that such a conceptualisation of grievances differs from the standard approaches in both social movement and political economy research.

In particular, anger has been shown to amplify existing motives; the angrier people are the more likely that they will engage in protest (van Stekelenburg and Klandermans 2009).…”
