Protest actions are an important indicator of public concern, raising awareness and highlighting perceived failings in administrative practices. With increasing prominence of environmental challenges there has been a move for states to incorporate stakeholders, potentially reducing the need for such confrontational actions. This article uses protest event analysis and case comparison to examine the scale and character of environmental protest actions in New Zealand from 1997-2010. This period was one of relative socio-economic stability, coupled with growing awareness of environmental challenges. The article considers the relative level of action of grassroots groups and more formalized NGOs, asking which issues generated protest actions and which factors contributed to environmental campaign outcomes. The findings suggest that, although protest actions can strengthen campaigns, the outcomes ultimately remain heavily dependent on the priorities of the state.

For now more than four decades, quantitative protest event analysis (PEA) has routinely contributed to the testing and refinement of theories on political processes from different perspectives. However, it is commonly agreed that PEA data face serious challenges regarding their data sources. Precisely, researchers applying PEA struggle with the fact that they cannot use multiple sources for large geographical areas and long time periods. As a consequence, most of the scholarship still focuses on a narrow set of European countries or the United States and does not cover the period since the early 2000s. We are bringing PEA and computational linguistics together to suggest and evaluate an approach that will enable political scientists to extend their research designs with a more efficient and at the same time reliable data collection. The approach relies on hidden topic models, word space models, and named entity recognition to identify and code protest events.
