Mobilization is the act of assembling and making both troops and supplies ready for war. The word mobilization was first used, in a military context, in order to describe the preparation of the Russian army during the 1850s and 1860s. Mobilization theories and techniques have continuously changed since then. The opposite of mobilization is demobilization.
Mobilization became an issue with the introduction of conscription, and the introduction of the railways in the 19th Century. Mobilization institutionalized the mass levy of forces that was first introduced during the French Revolution, and that had changed the character of war. A number of technological and societal changes promoted the move towards a more organized way of assembling armies. These included the telegraph, which allowed rapid spreading of orders, the railways, which allowed rapid concentration of troops, and conscription, which provided a trained reserve of soldiers available in the case of war.
Mobilization is an academic journal that publishes original research and academic reviews of books concerned mainly with sociological research on protests, social movements, and collective behavior.
The journal was established in 1996 by Hank Johnston ( San Diego State University). Johnston edited the journal for eleven years after which he was succeeded by Daniel J. Myers ( University of Notre Dame) and then Rory McVeigh ( University of Notre Dame). During Johnston’s run as editor, the journal moved first from two to three issues per year and, starting with volume eleven, eventually became a quarterly journal. The current editor-in-chief is Neal Caren ( University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill).
According to the Journal Citation Reports, the journal has a 2010 impact factor of 0.467, ranking it 92nd out of 132 journals in the category "Sociology".
