Social (Dis)Approval and Collective Action Participation
Survey-based studies on collective action generally assume that social approval of participation in collective action has a positive and linear effect on actual participation.

This article investigates the positive linearity thesis, using survey data on participation and non-participation in a street demonstration in The Hague in 2011. Statistical analyses prov…
The grassroots nature of counterinsurgent tribal militia formation
Many counterinsurgent tribal militias emerged during the second civil war in Southern Sudan. Existing studies give the impression that formation of these groups was largely a top-down process. Focusing on the rise of the Fertit militia and relying on a series of in-depth interviews with tribal leaders, this article challenges that assumption. The article shows that the emergence of the Fertit militia was principally a grassroots phenomenon stemmi…
Political Embeddedness and the Management of Emotions
This article explores how variation in political embeddedness of social movement organi-zations (SMOs) influences the management of emotions. By variation in the political embed-dedness of SMOs, we mean variation in the strength and the number of ties between SMOs and the political establishment. By management of emotions, we mean the efforts of SMO leaders to evoke particular emotions among SMO members. Using data from protest surveys conducted …

While this expectation of force may be celebrated, the question rises whether peacekeeping soldiers can meet the expectation. Are they ready to kill and risk their lives to pro…
