520			_aIn recent years, scholars have been increasingly interested in the systematic study of various aspects of political modernization. This interest has by no means been confined to the developing nations, for there is also a growing literature on processes of political modernization in the highly industrialized nations. Prominent among the complex issues that lie at the heart of sophisticated analysis of political modernization is the matter of politicization and political mobilization. In part, of course, the interest in political mobilization has stemmed from the recent interest in electoral processes and electoral mobilization. How ever, problems of political mobilization are broader in scope and have wider ramifications than do processes of electoral mobiliza tion. The latter may be taken to be a part of the former. There seems to be increasing agreement that socio-economic context, patterns of interaction within society, levels of literacy, quality and character of mass communications systems, nature of group loyalties and group identities, and related factors play important roles in shaping or conditioning the course of political modernization and political mobilization.
