?:abstract
  • Transitions to democracy and EU integration processes in post-communist Europe have been accompanied by relatively low levels of protest mobilisation. However, in recent years, new waves of protests have emerged in the region, ranging from mass demonstrations to organised strikes and riots. The rise in elite-challenging activity suggests a revival of protest politics in former communist countries in the current economic crisis. This chapter comparatively examines the dynamics and determinants of different forms of protest activity in Southeast Europe.1 Drawing on theoretical insights derived from the literature on political behaviour and social movements, this chapter analyses the profile of different types of protesters and the factors that may account for their preference for certain forms of protest actions over others. Research on Southeast Europe often investigates citizen participation from a cross-national perspective at a single point in time, with special emphasis on aspects of electoral participation. This study follows a longitudinal approach that captures the dynamic phenomena of protest participation using statistical analysis of survey datasets (such as the regularly published European Values Surveys and World Values Surveys) that allow for comparisons over time both cross-nationally and within a single country. Besides assessing the effects of individual-level variables, the chapter also considers country-level contextual factors such as the levels of democratic and economic development. (xsd:string)
