分析占领运动对于理解社会运动的政治重要性和社会运动方法的理论局限性非常重要。占领运动使我们能够批判性地重新审视和质疑我们认为我们对集体行动过程的了解。我们确定了八个论点，这些论点说明了为什么占领运动对学者很重要，并挑战我们重新审视现有的假设：（1）占领运动声称的空间核心要求;（2）占领语言的力量;（3）需要更多地关注制作和重复口号的重要性;（4）预示一个新社会的政治（及其矛盾）;（5）不对国家提出要求的含义;（6）将抗议仪式化和制度化的重要性;（7）潜在的全球运动的混乱扩散和调解，最后（8）为什么与警察对抗被理解为运动策略的重要性。无论结果如何，“占领”运动以新的方式激发和动员了活动人士，并明确表示，不平等是我们所有人都可以而且应该寻求补救的。
Analysing the Occupy movement is important for understanding the political importance of social movements and the theoretical limits of social movement approaches. Occupy enables us to critically re-examine and question what we think we know about the processes of collective action. We identify eight contentions which illustrate why Occupy matters to scholars and which challenge us to re-examine existing assumptions: (1) the core claim to space that Occupy asserts; (2) the power of the language of occupation; (3) the need to pay more attention to the importance of crafting and repeating slogans; (4) the politics of prefiguring a new society (and its contradictions); (5) the implications of not making demands on the state; (6) the importance of ritualising and institutionalising protest; (7) the messy diffusion and mediation of a potentially global movement and finally (8) why confrontation with the police is understood as important as a movement tactic. Whatever the outcome, Occupy has enthused and mobilised activists in new ways and has articulated that inequality is something we all can, and should, seek to remedy.
