Seminar
Wins & Losses: Measuring Protest Effects
Open to the Public
Speaker: Kimberly Turner, Postdoctoral Fellow, International Security Program/Nonviolent Action Lab
How can scholars and policymakers comparatively assess the "successfulness" of mass protests? The speaker develops an expanded typology of protest outcomes to score protest campaigns on their effectiveness in extracting concessions, the repressive action they face, and their net societal effects. Using Mokken Scale analysis, she finds that many campaigns are very effective in extracting new concession but may ultimately leave their societies worse off.
