Constitutional mobilization in the age of the right against rights
While legal mobilization through litigation and legislative reform has been widely examined, less is known about how political and social actors engage constitution-making processes to advance or restrict rights. Latin America provides a particularly relevant context to study this phenomenon, given the region’s frequent constitutional replacements and the growing tendency of activists to use constitution-making itself when other institutional cha…
Recurrent Mechanisms, Evolving Practices, and the Past-Present Link in World History
This article examines the enduring connections between past and present in world history by analyzing recurrent social mechanisms and evolving practices that enact them. While sociology has traditionally emphasized discontinuities and social change, I argue that some foundational mechanisms persist across time and space, yet they appear under varying practices. Drawing from Charles Tilly’s framework of mechanisms and repertoires of practices, I i…
Defining and Explaining Modes of Protesting
We propose a novel conceptualization of predominant national “modes of protesting” to explain how the act of protest expresses historically specific forms of organizational intermediation. Using an original survey of demonstrators, we show that in the 2020s protesting in Argentina is primarily a collective and organic dynamic, while in Chile, it is commonly fragmented and privatized. To explain this contrast, we present historical narratives that…
From protest to ideology
Profile
This profile examines Peru's unexpected popular uprising of 2022–23, which is distinct from its neighbors due to decades of relative calm. We combine three concepts emphasizing time-varying processes: deep-rooted societal inequality across class, ethnicity, and regions resulting in a fragmented civil society (long term); a mounting crisis in political representation (medium term); and the immediate trigger, namely, the removal of President Pedro …
Justification of violence, ideological preferences, and exposure to protests
We examine the relationship between proximity to actively policed protest events and people's willingness to justify violence against police forces. Focusing on the Chilean social uprising, a series of massive protests between 2019 and 2020, this study highlights the significant implications of law enforcement issues on government legitimacy and the potential for protest policing to escalate violence. To conduct our research, we use a difference-…
Revoltas urbanas na América Latina
En América Latina las revueltas urbanas son cada vez más frecuentes y tienen importantes consecuencias. Sin embargo, la mayoría de las investigaciones existentes se basan en estudios de caso, lo cual impide obtener generalizaciones sobre sus causas, dinámicas y consecuencias. En este artículo discutimos la literatura sobre revueltas urbanas en América Latina y proponemos un marco conceptual para estudiarlas. Definimos las revueltas urbanas con ba…

The Nexus between Protest and Electoral Participation
The literature on political participation has consistently found that protest positively and significantly correlates with voting. However, Chile can be considered a deviant case to this pattern. During the last decade, Chileans who participated in street demonstrations were unlikely to participate in elections. What explains this anomaly? We argue that this rupture between participation in protest and in elections results from an effective dista…
Represión policial y grupos de protesta en Chile
La represión es el resultado de acciones policiales y una herramienta de poder del gobierno para relacionarse con la sociedad movilizada. Ésta ha sido bastante estudiada en contextos anglosajones, pero menos en América Latina y Chile. Por ello, este artículo buscó responder si algunos grupos movilizados son más reprimidos que otros y si los gobiernos de centro-derecha reprimen más o menos que los gobiernos de centro-izquierda. Para esto, se usó u…

Social protests, neoliberalism and democratic institutions in Chile
No water in the oasis
We analyse the Chilean Spring of 2019-2020 – the fiercest social outburst in Chile during the last three decades. After discussing the combined role of long-standing grievances, political attitudes, and cultural change in triggering the outburst, we study the interplay among peaceful and violent protests and criminal activity. We argue that brutal police repression and governmental mismanagement contributed to deepening the crisis once it explode…
Social movements and exchanges
Using social exchange theory, this article presents a new theory for understanding the strategic choices made by social movement leaders-the "movement exchanges" theory. It looks at how leaders engage in exchanges of valued rewards with constituencies, institutional political players, bystander publics, and voluntary organizations. Leaders receive from these players important rewards (like committed activists, political leverage, and resources) f…
Power cages and the October 2019 uprising in Chile
This article studies the Chilean social uprising of 2019 using the power cages theory. By mobilizing enormous amounts of disruptive power in the streets through varied protest tactics, ordinary Chileans challenged the economic and political power cages that regulated their daily lives. The uprising also reshaped affective power, broadening horizontal identities and solidarity feelings among popular sectors, women, and protestors, and eroding affe…
Cuándo reprime la policía a los trabajadores? Acción policial en las huelgas en Chile (2010-2015)
En el presente artículo nos proponemos estudiar las maneras en que el Estado chileno responde a las huelgas laborales mediante la acción policial, analizando 552 huelgas entre 2010 y 2015 registradas por el Observatorio de Huelgas Laborales (UAH-COES). Los resultados sugieren que la decisión sobre a qué huelgas enviar policías tiene un carácter político-económico destinado a salvaguardar el control y el orden productivo. Específicamente, la prese…
The Attachment of Demonstrators to Institutional Politics
Focusing on LGBTIQ demonstrations in Argentina and Chile, we study protesters' attachment to institutional politics, defined as their emotional and attitudinal connection with the political system. We show that Argentine LGBTIQ demonstrators are on average more attached to institutional politics than Chilean ones. This can be explained neither by differences between Argentines and Chileans in general, nor by demonstrators' individual characterist…
Protest Issues and Political Inequality in Latin America
Many studies reveal that socioeconomic resources increase protest participation, lending more political voice to the affluent and reinforcing preexisting political inequality. But existing studies ignore whether this holds across different protest issues. We argue that some issues reinforce political inequality, while other ones do not. We differentiate between survival protests-in which people react to direct threats to their material and social…
Insurgency, Political Violence, and Democracy in Latin America
Once upon a time, pluralist (Dahl 1961) and modernization theories (Lipset 1959) described liberal democracy as a political regime that tended to exclude violence, insurgency, and corruption. A few decades later, Francis Fukuyama (1992) argued that in the long run, liberal democracy would triumph over other political alternatives, and about the same time Samuel Huntington (1991) revealed a massive wave of democratization (or redemocratization) in…
Determinantes de la protesta juvenil en Chile
Este artículo estudia los determinantes de la participación en protestas de jóvenes chilenos a partir de encuestas nacionales (2006-2015), usando modelos logísticos que predicen dicha participación. Primero,se identifica que los jóvenes de mayor estatus socioeconómico tienden a protestar más. Además, los jóvenes de izquierda protestan más, pero esa relación es más fuerte para quienes tienen alto estatus. Tercero, los jóvenes con menor confianza e…
Participación electoral en Chile. Una aproximación de edad, período y cohorte
Por medio de un análisis de edad-período-cohorte, aplicado a datos de encuestas realizadas entre 1994 y 2015, buscamos comprender el declive de la participación electoral ocurrido en Chile durante la actual era democrática. Nuestro análisis confirma algunas hipótesis previas, pero también ilumina algunas nuevas tendencias. Primero, encontramos efectos de cohorte que indican que las generaciones que votaron durante el plebiscito de 1988 tienden a …
What makes a big demonstration? Exploring the impact of mobilization strategies on the size of demonstrations
Massive demonstrations are the staple of powerful social movements, but research on the factors affecting the size of demonstrations (in terms of number of attendants) is almost nonexistent. Why do some demonstrations pack long avenues with masses of people while other ones barely fill a street corner? Combining resource mobilization, political opportunity, and framing theories, we argue that mobilization strategies – the sequence of decisions an…
Political Inequality in 38 Countries
This article presents a 'distributional' approach for the study of political inequality of voice (hereinafterPIV) which complements the prevailing 'categorical' approach. It measures distributionalPIVusing a country-level political Gini index based on the 2004ISSPsurvey applied to 38 countries. This measure indicates how evenly political voice - as measured by individual engagement in several political participation activities - is distributed am…
Mapping Religious Change in Latin America
Using Latinobarometer survey data, we study the evolution of religious identities among the adult populations of 17 Latin American countries between 1996 and 2013. We find several interesting patterns. First, the current religious landscape is highly dynamic and is becoming increasingly pluralist among a majority of countries. Changes derive not only from the growth of Evangelicals, as commonly assumed, but also from the sharp rise in irreligious…

Social cleavages and political dealignment in contemporary Chile, 1995–2009
There is abundant research on how social cleavages shape political preferences in developed countries with uninterrupted democracies, but we know less about this topic for middle income countries with recently restored democracies. In this analysis of the Chilean case, we examine with Latinobarometer survey data from 1995 to 2009 the evolution of social cleavages as shapers of political preferences (measured with a left–right self-placement scale…

The Enduring Presence of Religion in Chilean Ideological Positionings and Voter Options
Analysts of Chilean politics assert that the Pinochet dictatorship created a new political cleavage characterized as “authoritarianism versus democracy.” It fostered the formation of two party coalitions that took positions for and against Pinochet’s continuation as head of state in the plebiscite that he lost in October 1988. As a result, they argue, while the religious and class cleavages had powerfully shaped voter options and the party system…

How Strong are Strong Ties? The Conditional Effectiveness of Strong Ties in Protest Recruitment Attempts
Why do some individuals accept invitations to participate in protest events while others do not? Using the Citizen Participation Study, the author finds that targets invited by recruiters to whom they are strongly tied are more likely to protest than those invited by weak or absent ties. Such effect, however, is hypothesized to vary across the socioeconomic structure. Although strong ties motivate targets to accept the invitation, only those with…

How Do Voluntary Organizations Foster Protest? The Role of Organizational Involvement on Individual Protest Participation
Prior research shows that members of voluntary organizations are more likely to protest than nonmembers. But why, among members, do some protest while others do not? I explore whether organizational involvement-the extent in which members engage in the "life" of their organizations-affects protest. I identify four dimensions of involvement-time and money contributions, participation in activities, psychological attachment, and embeddedness in int…

How Do Intergroup Grievances Develop in the Absence of Oppression? Revolutions and Political Parties in Nineteenth-CenturyUruguay
Political sociologists often assume that widespread grievances require a long legacy of intergroup oppression. Yet in nineteenth-centuryUruguay, supporters of theWhite andRed political parties developed intense grievances against each other even though a legacy of oppression was missing. For explaining this puzzle I present an alternative perspective. It states that grievances first originate among political elites, which mobilize the masses thro…

Individual resource contributions to voluntary organizations in the United States
Although social movement organizations (SMOs) are often depicted as mobilizing intensive resources from their individual members, we lack a systematic assessment of this issue. Based on the notion of 'modern social movements' I argue that SMOs mobilize fewer human and monetary resources from their members than other voluntary organizations do. A regression model using a survey representative of American adults shows that, when compared to other o…

How Do Party Systems Shape Insurgency Levels? A Comparison of Four Nineteenth-Century Latin American Republics
This article explores how variations in party systems shape the intensity of insurgency against national authorities in nineteenth-century Latin America. I argue that, under certain conditions, two-party systems may polarize and lead to intense insurgency because they simplify the process of blame attribution, encourage the incumbent party to exclude its opponent from power positions, and motivate leaders to emphasize extreme ideological position…
