“…In addition, married people have reported less participation even for nonviolent and lawful protests (Solt, 2015). The data from World Values Surveys of 37,716 citizens in 17 more advanced democratic countries further showed that during social movements, married people tended to sign petitions to express their stances, whereas unmarried people tended to take part in demonstrations directly (Dodson, 2015). This study extends previous contradicting evidence by analyzing different dimensions of threat perceptions.…”

We examined the incidence and predictors of threat perceptions toward people who oppose government action (i.e., protestors) following the Umbrella Movement in Hong Kong (September 28th to December 15th, 2014). A population-representative sample of 1,208 citizens (mean age = 46.89 years; 52.4% female) was recruited two months after the conclusion of the Movement using random digit dialing. Upon giving their informed consent, respondents reported sociodemographics, perceived threats of protestors to the prospects of democracy, ways of life, and the economy, anxiety symptoms (STAI), and depressive symptoms (PHQ-9). More than half disagreed that protestors threatened the prospects of democracy (54.7%, 95% CI = .52, .57), ways of life (52.2%, 95% CI = .49, .55), and the economy (51.4%, 95% CI = .49, .54). Regression analyses revealed that male sex was associated with lower odds of perceiving threats to the prospects of democracy and ways of life. Being unmarried was associated with lower odds of perceiving threats to the economy. Secondary education level and depressive symptoms were associated with higher odds of perceiving threats to ways of life and the economy, respectively. This is one of the first population-based studies that measured socioeconomic and mental health correlates of political attitudes immediately following pro-democracy movements.

“…In addition to economic globalization reducing grievances and incentives to protest, it might also reduce the ability to coordinate and mobilize. Dodson (), for instance, points out that economic globalization is often accompanied with a reduction in trade unions, which could have served as a means of coordination and mobilization. Economic globalization can also exacerbate economic inequality, especially in highly developed countries (Dreher and Gaston, 2008).…”

“…Although much of the political science literature focuses almost exclusively on civil wars (Schneider, Barbieri, and Gleditsch, ; Barbieri and Reuveny, ), we incorporate insights from this literature into our understanding of domestic anti‐state protest. Further, we incorporate insights from sociology, where there has been much more focus on certain aspects of globalization and their linkages to contentious politics in general (e.g., Smith, ; Della Porta, ; Dodson, ).…”

Objectives We advance hypotheses on the extent to which the three main aspects of globalization—economic, political, and social—fuel mass protest and delineate how these effects can be especially instrumental in understanding collective mass mobilization among a historically disadvantaged group, women. Methods We use new and updated data on anti‐government protest to examine the covariates of protest intensity cross‐nationally over time. Results Results from the data analysis indicate that while political globalization is associated with reduced women's protest, social globalization is associated with increased women's and non‐women's protest. Further, economic globalization has somewhat divergent effects on women's and non‐women's protest. Conclusions Results from our thorough analysis of the three main aspects of globalization highlight the varying effects that different dimensions of globalization have on political protest. Our study offers a unique analysis of the factors associated with protest by women and compares it to other types of protest.

“…Recientemente, múltiples estudios han buscado analizar los movimientos de protesta desde una perspectiva procesual e histórica (Almeida, 2012;Dodson, 2015;Tarrow, 1997). Vistas en su conjunto, estas investigaciones han reconocido que durante las últimas décadas se ha producido un aumento de las protestas, junto con un incremento de su protagonismo en la agenda y el debate público, perfilándose de este modo lo que parece ser un ciclo de intensificación global de la protesta social y de masificación de esta forma de acción colectiva, lo que ha llevado a algunos a hablar de la existencia de un "mundo de protestas" (Della Porta, 2008) o de una "sociedad movilizada" (Tarrow, 1997).…”

El artículo busca analizar históricamente los ciclos, tendencias y trayectorias de conflictividad universitaria en el Chile posdictadura (1990-2014). Mediante una investigación descriptiva y cuantitativa, que utiliza como técnica de recolección de datos el Análisis de Eventos de Protesta (AEP), el estudio analiza tres aspectos centrales de la trayectoria de las protestas estudiantiles: la cantidad de protestas desarrolladas en el periodo; las demandas generadas y tácticas utilizadas durante estos procesos, y la intensidad de estas acciones. Los resultados permiten matizar, complementar y disputar algunas de las principales tesis esgrimidas por la literatura hasta la fecha, ya que muestran i) que las protestas universitarias se han desarrollado a través de un patrón de comportamiento cíclico durante todo el periodo, intercalándose momentos de alza y baja en la conflictividad , ii) un proceso de heterogenización de las demandas y un aumento de las marchas como táctica prototípica de acción, y iii) un incremento en la cantidad de participantes y ampliación de la extensión territorial de los eventos durante la última década, pero no de la duración de las acciones de protestas.
