Peaceful protest is a strong driver for democratization across the
globe. Yet, it doesn't always lead to democratic transition, as
seen in the Arab Spring revolutions in Egypt or Yemen. Why do some
nonviolent transitions end in democracy while others do not? In
From Dissent to Democracy, Jonathan Pinckney systematically
examines transitions initiated by nonviolent resistance campaigns
and argues that two key factors explain whether or not democracy
will follow such efforts. First, a movement must sustain high
levels of social mobilization. Second, it must direct that
mobilization away from revolutionary "maximalist" goals and tactics
and towards support for new institutions. Pinckney tests his theory
by presenting a global statistical analysis of all political
transitions from 1945-2011 and three case studies from Nepal,
Zambia, and Brazil. Original and empirically rigorous, this book
provides new insights into the intersection of democratization and
nonviolent resistance and gives actionable recommendations for how
to encourage democratic transitions.
