Protest Effectiveness in Southeast Asia
The Effectiveness of Militant Tactics in Contemporary Urban Protest
Group Representation in Local Bureaucracies
This paper examines a variety of explanations for why some active groups are better represented in local bureaucracies than other active groups. An examination of 1397 group-agency relationships in 55 cities resulted in some tentative evidence supporting the following propositions: (1) The organizational structures of groups-their permanency, their cohesion, and their size—do not explain the level of group representa tion in local bureaucracies. …

Because of its importance in normative theory, the concept of responsiveness has been the subject of many empirical investigations seeking to describe and explain the degree of responsiveness of American state and local governments. However, broad generalizations regarding the degree of responsiveness of these governments and general…
The Scope of Political Conflict and the Effectiveness of Constraints in Contemporary Urban Protest
This paper examines the effectiveness of the use of constraints (e. g., direct action tactics and violence) by protest groups.

An empirical examination of responsiveness bias in the 51 cities of the Permanent Community Sample reveals that responsiveness is usually bi…
