State

The assembling perspective, by Clark McPhail, studies collective action as coordinated behavior, shifting focus from why crowds form to how it unfolds.

Watch for

Collective behavior and collective action are distinct here; action names behavior organized around a shared interest, not any noninstitutionalized gathering.
