At the turn of the twenty-first century, a tide of nonviolent youth
movements swept across Eastern Europe. Young people demanded
political change in repressive political regimes that emerged since
the collapse of communism. The Serbian social movement Otpor
(Resistance) played a vital role in bringing down Slobodan
Milosevic in 2000. Inspired by Otpor's example, similar challenger
organizations were formed in Azerbaijan, Belarus, Georgia, and
Ukraine. The youth movements, however, differed in the extent to
which they could mobilize citizens against the authoritarian
governments on the eve of national elections. This book argues that
the movement's tactics and state countermoves explain, in no small
degree, divergent social movement outcomes. Using data from
semi-structured interviews with former movement participants,
public opinion polls, government publications, non-governmental
organization (NGO) reports, and newspaper articles, the book traces
state-movement interactions in five post-communist societies:
Azerbaijan, Belarus, Georgia, Serbia, and Ukraine.
