Why do governments accommodate these protests, undertaking sweeping reforms in some cases, and in others find ways to suppress protests? In Democracy Protests, Brancati highlights the role of economic crises in triggering protests. She argues that crises increase discontent with governments, and authoritarianism in particular, and also increase support for opposition candidates who are more likely to organize protests, especially during election periods. Economic crises are also shown to create chances for opportunists to capitalize on anti-regime sentiment and mobilize support against governments. However, if crises are severe and protests concomitantly large, governments are likely to be compelled to make accommodations with protestors, regardless of their likelihood of retaining office. Brancati's argument rests on a rich statistical analysis of the causes and consequences of democracy protests around the globe between 1989 and 2011, combined with qualitative case studies"-- $c Provided by publisher. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references (pages 193-205) and index. 505 00 $t Analyzing democratization -- $t Relating economic crises to democracy -- $t Analyzing the rise of democracy protests -- $t Analyzing elections as trigger events -- $t Historical trends in government responses -- $t Analyzing political accommodation -- $t Historical trends in democratization -- $t Analyzing democratization -- $g Appendix: Data and measures. 650 0 $a Democracy $v Case studies. 650 0 $a Democracy $x Economic aspects $v Case studies. 650 0 $a Protest movements $v Case studies. 650 0 $a World politics $y 1989- $v Case studies. 650 0 $a Democracy $v Statistics. 650 0 $a Democracy $x Economic aspects $v Statistics. 650 0 $a Protest movements $v Statistics. 650 0 $a World politics $y 1989- $v Statistics. 648 7 $a Since 1989 $2 fast 856 41 $z Available to Stanford-affiliated users. $u http://ezproxy.stanford.edu/login?url=http://dx.doi.org/10.1017/CBO9781316480960 $y Cambridge Core $x cbCR9781316480960 $x purchased $x eLoaderURL $x cb4 $x cbCR9781316480960 941 $a 2 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20180119055704.0 952 $l USUX851 $d 20170802024001.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=F5DF40CA621011E7BC2B04C5DAD10320 994 $a C0 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
