Why do democracy protests emerge in some countries at certain
times, but not in others? Why do governments accommodate these
protests, undertaking sweeping reforms in some cases, and in others
find ways to suppress protests? In Democracy Protests, Brancati
highlights the role of economic crises in triggering protests. She
argues that crises increase discontent with governments, and
authoritarianism in particular, and also increase support for
opposition candidates who are more likely to organize protests,
especially during election periods. Economic crises are also shown
to create chances for opportunists to capitalize on anti-regime
sentiment and mobilize support against governments. However, if
crises are severe and protests concomitantly large, governments are
likely to be compelled to make accommodations with protestors,
regardless of their likelihood of retaining office. Brancati's
argument rests on a rich statistical analysis of the causes and
consequences of democracy protests around the globe between 1989
and 2011, combined with qualitative case studies.
