政治赋权要求将其纳入民主决策进程。在许多情况下，这意味着在地方和/或中央州获得话语权。根据塔罗政治进程模型的修正版本，本研究调查了中央和地方州一级不断变化的政治机会如何影响马萨诸塞州剑桥市和平运动动员的性质和规模。在争夺国家控制权的斗争中，地理和时间上的差异显而易见。和平运动运动有时针对中央州；有时，和平运动在当地各州发挥相当大的影响。不满的严重程度、地方和国家政治机会结构的相互作用以及经济影响对具体运动的成败至关重要。
Political empowerment requires inclusion in democratic decision-making processes. In many contexts, this means gaining a voice within the local and/or central state. Drawing on a modified version of Tarrow's political process model, the present research investigates the manner in which changing political opportunities at the central and local state levels have affected the nature and scale of focus of peace movement mobilization in Cambridge, Massachusetts. Geographical and temporal variations in struggles for state control are clearly evident. Peace movement campaigns have, at times, been directed at the central state; at other times the peace movement has exercised considerable influence in local states. The severity of grievances, the interaction of local and national political opportunity structures, and economic ramifications have been crucial to the success or failure of specific campaigns.
