題名: | Anti-Government Protests in Democracies: A Test of Institutional Explanations | 作者: | Su, Yen-Pin 蘇彥斌 |

The first explanation deals with certain political institutions as structural determinants that shape protest activities, and the second explanation considers opposition parties as agents of protest mobilization. Using a zero-inflated negative binomial regression applied to a global sample of 107 democratic countries from 1990 to 2004, the empirical analyses show that the second explanation works better. The results demonstrate that a larger opposition camp fosters more anti-government protests only if this opposition camp is more united. Moreover, the finding suggests that the mobilization capacity of opposition parties matters for anti-government protests in developing countries but not for those in developed countries. | 關聯: | Comparative Politics, 47(2), 149-167(19) | 資料類型: | article | DOI: | http://dx.doi.org/10.5129/001041515814224444 |
