Which Feminisms Mobilize? Organizational Ideologies and Women’s Protest Participation Worldwide, 1980–2024
This article explores how ideological fragmentation within transnational women’s organizations influences patterns of women’s protest participation. The novel FEMPOWER dataset (1980–2024), harmonized with data from the World Values Survey and administrative political and economic data across 199 countries (N = 8,957), yields new data-driven perspectives on feminist organizing. Applying two-level linear regression models, I find that organizations…
The Fempower dataset
The ideological fragmentation of women’s organizations is central to debates about the unity and effectiveness of global feminist activism. Existing datasets capture organizational presence and networks, but they neglect ideological orientations of women’s organizations. This article introduces the FEMPOWER dataset, covering the period 1980–2023 for around 9,000 women’s organizations active worldwide. FEMPOWER provides yearly country-level data o…
Gendered Protest in Europe
The paper examines how EU gender equality norm diffusion, conservative counter-mobilization, and multidimensional gender role attitudes influence gendered protest participation across Europe and neighboring states. It advances two hypotheses. The Backlash Amplification Hypothesis expects that EU-driven equality norms correspond to narrower gender gaps where conservative mobilization is weak and to wider gaps where it is strong. The Hybridization …
Relationship between Vitality and Characteristics of Coping Strategies in Deviant Adolescents
Adolescence is important in the development and formation of a personality, and the family radically influences the development of a teenager; under the family influence, foundations of intentional behavior, ways of responding to stress, level of vitality and defense mechanisms are laid, and a general direction in the formation of moral concepts and relationships emerges. And all this happens against the background of contradictions in physiologi…
Wingos as conduits of world culture, their relationships with emancipative values, and women’s political empowerment worldwide, 1981–2020
Women’s International Non-Governmental Organizations (WINGOs) are a major force in spreading world culture at the national level. At the same time, women’s political empowerment is one of the spaces in which world culture manifests itself. WINGOs, often in conjunction with emancipative values, may potentially have an impact on a country’s level of women’s political empowerment. However, scholars rarely integrate them into theory and empirical tes…
Fragmentation of women’s transnational social movement organizations and women’s political empowerment worldwide, 1990–2021
The fragmentation of the transnational women’s movement has been accompanied by massive questions regarding its impact on women’s political empowerment. This article investigates whether fragmentation of the movement facilitates or hampers empowerment while emphasizing a difference between the Global North and South. The results from a multisource database from 1990 to 2021 tested with mixed-effects linear regression show generally positive, enha…
Contacting a public official
Background In the digital age, contacting a public official is a direct, low‐cost means of influence, but most cross‐national surveys ignore it. Objective We go in‐depth on “contact” to define it, present how it has appeared in major cross‐national surveys since the 1960s, and how survey respondents might understand it today. We then explore its popularity and determinants in Europe across time. Methods We use the Survey Data Recycling project's …
Cognition and protest in democratic and authoritarian regimes, 1981-2020
Whereas most theories of why the masses protest in democratic and authoritarian regimes involve some psychological or 'cognitive' element, major theories that include them (a) de-emphasize the structural conditions and (b) posit an explicit structure and cognition model but lack data to test its propositions across nations and time. This article synthesizes cognition-themed theories of democratic culture, political process theory's cognitive libe…
Exploring Protest in Europe with a Multi-Level Cross-National Test of the Structural Cognitive Model
To explain protest potential, the Structural Cognitive Model (SCM) suggests (i) a multi-level interaction between economic and political contexts (“structure”) and individual-level social psychological factors (“cognitive”) such that (ii) macro-level factors can amplify or dampen individual and group protest potential. This model has few cross-national tests because many of the cognitive concepts it suggests are not available in the major interna…
Socio-economic and Socio-political Origins of Technocratic Populism in the Czech Republic and Nativism in Hungary
This article investigates the socio-economic and socio-political origins of populism in the Czech Republic and Hungary, discussing the reasons for the national specificity of the populism. Despite the similar triggers that had led to the strengthening of the populists, the nature of the populism in these countries is different. In the Czech Republic, populism has a technocratic nature, while in Hungary—a nativist. I presume that the rise of the u…
Mobile Lifestyle of Latvian and Belarusian Youth in the Aspect of Employment
Mobile lifestyle is a comparatively little studied phenomenon, although the development of information and communication technologies significantly changes almost all manifestations of our life. Mobility, network capital, social and humanitarian technologies are becoming substantial conditions for successful employment. The purpose of the article is to analyse the results of the sociological project where youth of Latvia and Belarus became the ob…
Knowledge Management and the Increase of SME Competitiveness
The need to enhance the competitiveness and innovation capacity of small and medium enterprises is one of the key objectives of emerging EU economies. In this regard, the authors define the role of knowledge in enhancing business competitiveness in a regional economy. The effect of knowledge management processes on the economic activity of businesses in the Latvian region of Latgale is considered. To assess the role of knowledge and knowledge man…
Processes of convergence and divergence in the regions of the European Union
A higher level of unity and cohesion across the European Union member states is an important aspect of European integration though it has a rather ambiguous nature. The Law on the Common Market, which aims to increase the economic efficiency of the EU, became a subject of extensive discussions among researchers suggesting that its viability at the political and socio-economic levels depends on a fair distribution of gains among the countries and …
