Why do anti-US-military protests occur in some host communities but not others? Using six cases in Japan, South Korea, and the Philippines, this project argues that a key explanatory factor in anti-US-military movement variability is the extent to which activists' frames, or interpretations of an issue, resonate with the host community or nation. The concept of frame resonance reflects the interplay between framing by social movement leaders and the political opportunity structure (including framing by the US and host nation governments), which influences frames' effectiveness at mobilizing potential protesters. Drawing on interviews, participant observation, protest data and data, and various primary and secondary sources, I explore variations in anti-US-military protests across the host communities of Yokosuka and Okinawa, Japan; Daegu and Jeju, South Korea; and national level movements in the Philippines before and after the signing of the VFA agreement.I find that three key factors influence frame resonance in anti-US-military protests and contribute to protest variation across host communities and across time. First, I conceptualize base politics as a framing contest among a variety of different actors but most crucially anti-US-military activists, the host community government, the host nation government, and the US military. While anti-US-military activists always frame the US presence as a problem to be solved and the US military highlights the ways in which its presence is important to host nation security, host nation and host community governments vary in their positions about the US military presence. I find that when either government adopts a position aligned with activists' positions, it lends credibility to activists' frames and increases the chances that they can mobilize people en masse against the US military. Second, host communities that have a history of marginalization at the hands of the US and/or their host nation government have a greater chance{A0}of witnessing mass anti-US-military mobilization. However, it is not the mere occurrence of these past events that mobilize people; it is the way that activists and their allies link the US military presence to the past and remind people of past grievances. Finally, high levels of anti-US-military protests are more likely in communities where the visibility of US troops is high and negative. When troop visibility is low, people may have difficulty believing that the US military is in their community, and when troop visibility is high and positive, they will have a hard time believing that the troop presence is problematic, undermining activists' claims.
