Coercion and Protest: An Empirical Test in Two Democratic States
Theory: The theory of protest under varying levels of coercion forms the context for an investigation of the data on protest coercion in Germany and Northern Ireland for 11 years (1982-92), aggregated weekly. Hypotheses: The standard inverted-U hypothesis is tested against competing unstable (protest and coercion diverge and oscillate); backlash (coercion increases protest); and adaptation (protesters change tactics after coercion) hypotheses. Me…
The Relationship between Coercion and Protest: An Empirical Evaluation in Three Coercive States
The relationship between coercion and protest, arguably the core of any theory of rebellion, remains unresolved. Competing hypotheses have emerged from formal models and empirical research. This article uses two forms of the predator-prey model to test these competing hypotheses. Time-series data from three coercive states (the German Democratic Republic, Czechoslovakia, and the Palestinian Intifada) are used to estimate parameters for both model…
Machine Coding of Event Data Using Regional and International Sources
This article discusses research on the machine coding of international event data from international and regional news sources using the Kansas Event Data System (KEDS). First, we suggest that the definition of an "event" should be modified so that events are explicitly and unambiguously defined in terms of natural language. Second, we discuss KEDS: a Macintosh-based machine coding system using pattern recognition and simple linguistic parsing to…
Theories of Protest and the Revolutions of 1989
This study investigates the revolutions in the German Democratic Republic and Czechoslovakia in the context of comparative theories of protest and revolution. After a review of recent methodological advances and the two revolutions, the Gurr-Lichbach mobilization of discontent model is adapted to the two cases and tested with longitudinal data. Rational action theories are integrated into a final model that can be used to analyze protest in autho…

The political impact of tourism dependence in Latin America
Subsystem Politics and Corporatism in the United States
Recent changes in American politics, particularly the rise and proliferation of public, single and professional interest groups, are difficult to account for in traditional pluralist or elite formulations. These groups not only try to affect policy at the point of adoption, but also penetrate intergovernmental delivery systems during the implementation stage of the policy process. In this way American groups and organisations perform the same sor…

The SPD of East Berlin, 1945-1961
Political parties perform a variety of functions. Typically we think of them in instrumental terms-as coalitions formed to compete for public office, or as means for mobilizing the masses in support of decisions made by the ruling elites. Other parties serve expressive functions. They may be more interested in ideological purity than in gaining political office. Or they may represent the interests of a single group, such as refugees or inhabitant…
