Based on extensive data and analysis of sixty contentious episodes
in twelve European countries, this book proposes a novel approach
that takes a middle ground between narrative approaches and
conventional protest event analysis. Looking particularly at
responses to austerity policies in the aftermath of the Great
Recession (2008–2015), the authors develop a rigorous conceptual
framework that focuses on the interactions between three types of
participants in contentious politics: governments, challengers, and
third parties. This approach allows political scientists to map not
only the variety of actors and actor coalitions that drove the
interactions in the different episodes, but also the interplay of
repression/concessions/support and of
mobilization/cooperation/mediation on the part of the actors
involved in the contention. The methodology used will enable
researchers to answer old (and new) research questions related to
political conflict in a way that is simultaneously attentive to
conceptual depth and statistical rigor.
