Explanation
★The process model of social movements is associated with Charles Tilly, so he is the answer.

★His model studies how movements emerge, develop and decline over time.
★He stressed political opportunities, mobilising structures and repertoires of contention.
★Doug McAdam later extended this into the political process model of activism.

★Tilly's process approach shifted study from grievances to political opportunity and organisation.
