Collective action refers to the efforts of a group of individuals working together to achieve a common goal or address a shared issue. This can include activities such as protests, strikes, organizing campaigns, and community initiatives. Collective action often involves coordination and cooperation among members of the group, as well as a shared sense of purpose or solidarity. Researchers in this area study how and why collective action occurs, as well as the potential effectiveness and impact of different strategies for mobilizing groups of people towards a common objective. The field of collective action intersects with a variety of disciplines, including sociology, political science, economics, and psychology.
