“…As McAdam and Tarrow (2010) noted in their examination of the reciprocal relationship between elections and social movements, research on different types of political acts is often conducted in separate siloes, with experts on voting and experts on protest engaging in separate scholarly conversations. Informed by Charles Tilly, social movement scholars have often used the term "repertoire" to describe the broad range of individuals' political behavior (Alimi, 2015;Bojar & Kriesi, 2021;Gade, 2020;Tilly, 1995Tilly, , 2006. However, this actor-oriented conceptual approach is not common among scholars who use large-N survey research to analyze political behavior.…”

This study advances research on the role of protest in individual-level participation repertoires by examining how latent class analysis can be used to identify distinctive types of political participants. This methodological approach requires shifting researchers’ traditional theoretical and analytical focus on protest as a single political act to the ways in which political actors combine protest with other political behaviors. From a theoretical perspective, the study examines the increased salience of research on the causes and consequences of protest in the context of individuals’ broader participation repertoires. From a methodological perspective, an illustrative analysis is conducted using the 2016 American National Election Studies survey to test theoretical expectations about the relationship between protest and civic duty. The study concludes with a discussion of how latent class analysis can be used to advance research on protest as one political act in individuals’ broader repertories of political participation.

“…As a result, information travels, and expectations of others' reciprocal pro-social behavior converge, more efficiently and encompass a larger portion of the population. Social cohesion increases a community's ability to build a broad consensus and to mobilize towards higher rates of participation in a variety of forms of collective action to protect community security; from active resistance against more powerful belligerents to mobilizing collective flight from areas of violence (Arjona 2016;Dorff 2017;Gade 2020;Kaplan 2017;Krause 2018;Parkinson 2013;Petersen 2001;Rubin 2020). Regarding collective flight, Steele (2017) shows how social networks within and across communities hasten the spread of information about belligerent movements, giving communities the opportunity to flee before belligerents arrive.…”

Why do some communities flee their homes during armed conflict, while others remain and risk exposure to further violence? This article investigates whether and how whole communities flee home territory, which we refer to as evacuation, in the context of strategic displacement campaigns. We explain variation in the process of forced displacement, focusing on civilian agency in shaping conflict processes. Specifically, we differentiate between preemptive (prior to displacement violence) and violent (in response to displacement violence) evacuation. We theorize that, in the context of strategic displacement campaigns, social cohesion enhances communities' ability to preemptively evacuate by facilitating collective action to evade imminent violence exposure. We test the theory in the context of Arab Palestinian communities' displacement during the 1948 war in Mandate Palestine. We measure village evacuation drawing upon historical accounts of forced displacement during the war and social cohesion using an original dataset based on new archival material from a survey of Arab Palestinian villages conducted during the early 1940s.

“…In Nepal, the country’s Congress Party built connections across social groups and with the state, turning to nonviolent resistance, whereas the Communist Party lacked such connections and turned to violent resistance (Thurber, 2019). Similar social connections promoted nonviolence among Palestinians in the West Bank (Gade, 2020).…”

The politics of nonviolent mobilization: Campaigns, competition, and social movement resources

Nonviolent resistance is considered one of the most effective methods of bringing about political change. Yet empirical research on how nonviolent campaigns emerge is limited. This article considers two sets of considerations which influence the strategic decision of a campaign to use nonviolent or violent methods: interactions with the state and campaign resources. Campaigns are concerned about the risk of repression from the state and are more likely to choose nonviolence when they believe the state will accommodate their demands. Open political competition signals likely accommodation. Campaigns’ nonviolent tactics are more effective when they possess social movement resources, though high levels of movement resources threaten the state. The argument implies political competition and social movement resources are associated with a higher likelihood of a campaign using nonviolence, though the relationship with social movement resources diminishes at high levels. Implications of the argument are tested on a sample of contentious campaigns from 1945 to 2006. Political competition and social movement resources are related as expected to the use of nonviolence. However, an extension shows these factors do not account for the advantage of nonviolent methods, particularly in triggering backlash protests, once a campaign is under way. An original ordinal measurement strategy for campaign methods suggests the intensity of violence and nonviolence are likewise unrelated to competition and resources.
