Why mobilisation is not enough
Digital mobilisation theory has made substantial advances in explaining how social movements scale in speed and scope through networked communication platforms. Yet a persistent explanatory gap remains: why does digitally enabled mobilisation produce government concession in some cases and severe repression in others, even when the mobilisation process is structurally comparable? This article introduces the Cost-Concession Threshold (CCT) framewo…
Network signals as national proxies
How do young adults form beliefs about what most of their fellow citizens think? This paper develops and conducts an exploratory empirical test of Social Signal Amplification Theory (SSAT), which proposes that individuals in personalised digital communication environments systematically infer national public opinion from the political signals circulating within their own small, egocentric networks rather than from verifiable nationally representa…
Anger arouses, persuasion unites
This study reports a between-subjects experiment testing the Reciprocity of Outrage Theory (ROT), which proposes that political messages designed to provoke anger toward an opposing group generate stronger in-group loyalty, pride, and mobilisation than aspirational messages affirming in-group values. Two hundred self-identified supporters of the People's Democratic Party (PDP), Nigeria's principal opposition party, were randomly assigned to one o…
Digital soil sovereignty
This study adopts the Critical-Infrastructure Sovereignty Index (CISI) and a cyber cyberfarming behavior typology to empirically assess how states manage digital sovereignty across critical sectors. We evaluate 16 critical infrastructure domains per country, scoring whether each is under domestic/allied control or reliant on foreign technology, yielding a normalized sovereignty index (CISI) between 0 and 1. In parallel, we code eight dimensions o…
