“…A number of laws were promulgated to contain widespread social action in the early 1980s, and were consolidated in a State of Emergency from 1985 onwards. Unlike with previous protest action (after Sharpeville and the Soweto riots), the levels of social instability increased rather than decreased in response to repressive legislation (Olivier, 1991).…”

We argue that escape foreign direct investment (FDI) happens when unknown future "rules of the game" cause concern about the continued productive capacity of the economy. Adapting the stressstrain-fail model of materials failure, we argue that escape FDI is a process with three cumulative phases. Conditions for escape FDI (stress) are created by institutional deterioration and contained contestation. Limited escape FDI (strain) results from periods of societal instability and/or inadequate institutional reforms. Extensive escape FDI (failure) results from pervasive societal instability and/or fundamental changes in institutions. Using a historical approach, we develop these propositions for South Africa, 1956 to 2012.

“…Other analysts (e.g. Khawaja 1993;Olivier 1991) have built on the contextually-sensitive theoretical foundation provided by Tilly (1978), proposing that the effects of repression are curvilinear, varying by level of sanction imposed by the state.…”

Models that purport to explain the interplay between dissidents and the state generally assert, either explicitly or implicitly, that the path from state interests to action to outcomes is a linear one. Using the case of the United Klans of America (UKA) in North Carolina, I argue that state efforts to exert social control upon a perceived threat are shaped by a range of internal and external contingencies. In particular, I undertake a comparative analysis of two state agencies to demonstrate how a particular mechanism-ambivalence, here conceptualized as the relational consequence of a mismatch between organizational culture and organizational goals-leads to distinct, and sometimes heterogeneous, actions and outcomes not directly traceable to organizational mandates. Findings lend insight into how endogenous organizational processes shape contentious political outcomes in potentially divergent ways.

“…De nombreux travaux soulignent combien la répression peut décapiter un mouvement et freiner la mobilisation 70 . C'est le cas du mouvement arménien en Turquie qui a attendu, pour renaître, jusqu'à la fin des années 1990.…”

International audienceLe cas des mouvements arméniens, depuis un siècle, en montrant comment l’action collective peut contribuer à façonner le contexte, met en lumière les rapports entre les trajectoires politiques et les trajectoires territoriales des mobilisations, ainsi que l’interdépendance des mobilisations sociales et politiques. L’article aborde les évolutions de la structure de la diaspora arménienne depuis ses origines jusqu’à aujourd’hui, en fonction des évolutions de la scène internationale et transnationale. La structuration politique de la diaspora donne lieu à des lignes de fractures avec les Arméniens de Turquie, tout en favorisant les opportunités de contestation dans ce pays. Une analyse longitudinale permet d’expliquer les derniers développements de la diaspora et ses relations avec le mouvement arménien turc actuel. L’enjeu est de préciser les bases sur lesquelles les mobilisations favorisent le développement des réseaux transnationaux qui dépassent les frontières tant nationales qu’organisationnelles
