The Unemployed and the Restless
Under what conditions do the unemployed protest? Traditionally, scholars have found that joblessness creates feelings of depression and self-blame, reducing mobilization among the unemployed. Experiences of the past 30 years, including the Great Recession, have led scholars to reconsider the influence of material deprivation on mobilization. Specifically, a growing body of literature has highlighted numerous historical instances of mobilization a…
The forgotten protest dynamics
How do non-repressive state responses to a protest event affect future protest behaviour? And what are the psychological mechanisms driving these effects? While the repression–protest nexus has been extensively studied, the role of non-repressive responses, such as ignoring or accommodating dissent, remains underexplored. Challenging the prevailing assumption that these responses are inconsequential, this study argues that non-repressive state be…
Emotional protesters
How do repressive state tactics used in response to protests affect individuals’ willingness to continue protesting? Particularly, does repression increase or decrease individual protesters’ willingness to continue participating in a protest movement once the protest is already underway? Prominent theories of collective action tend to explain how state repression impacts protest differently. I address this puzzle and aim to contribute to the lite…
The Dynamics of Protest Radicalization
Why do protests radicalize to violence? We develop a general theory of protest radicalization by adapting individual-level and group-based theories of collective action. We argue that the dynamics of mobilization have implications for protest radicalization. Protests are composed of individuals with heterogeneous cost-risk tolerances which influences their political participation. When moderate factions are present in sufficient numbers, they can…
Violence, what is it good for? Waves of riotous-violent protest and democracy
Under what conditions do riotous-violent protests increase the likelihood of protest success? The protest literature has largely found that riotous-violent protests (RVPs) are not effective. However, a burgeoning literature contradicts these findings. We extend this literature by exploring how waves of RVPs increase the likelihood of protest success. Protesters learn from past protest-government response dyads, which reduces the costs of continue…
