What do states gain by sending citizens into the streets? Ruling by
Other Means investigates this question through the lens of
State-Mobilized Movements (SMMs), an umbrella concept that includes
a range of (often covertly organized) collective actions intended
to advance state interests. The SMMs research agenda departs
significantly from that of classic social movement and contentious
politics theory, focused on threats to the state from seemingly
autonomous societal actors. Existing theories assume that the goal
of popular protest is to voice societal grievances, represent
oppressed groups, and challenge state authorities and other
powerholders. The chapters in this volume show, however, that
states themselves organize citizens (sometimes surreptitiously and
even transnationally) to act collectively to advance state goals.
Drawn from different historical periods and diverse geographical
regions, these case studies expand and improve our understanding of
social movements, civil society and state-society relations under
authoritarian regimes.
