ABSTRACT
This chapter proposes a discussion of the findings presented in the preceding chapters. On the one hand, the themes and patterns that emerged from the analysis of the data are confronted with existing concepts and theories relevant to the study of PIM and PIV. The objective is to highlight novel aspects that can be considered as contributions to the literature on the phenomena of politico-ideological mobilisation and violence. On the other hand, and in line with the methodology of Grounded Theory, this discussion aims to elevate the findings to a higher level of abstraction to formulate a theory of grievance-based mobilisation. This theory covers the entire spectrum of engaging with grievances, from their emergence to the ways they interweave with action and potentially violence. It is structured around the three social performances – identification, appropriation and responsibilisation – that have been explored in depth in Part III.
