Resistance and Rebellion: Lessons from Eastern Europe explains how
ordinary people become involved in resistance and rebellion against
powerful regimes. The book shows how a sequence of casual forces -
social norms, focal points, rational calculation - operate to drive
individuals into roles of passive resistance and, at a second
stage, into participation in community-based rebellion
organization. By linking the operation of these mechanisms to
observable social structures, the work generates predictions about
which types of community and society are most likely to form and
sustain resistance and rebellion. The empirical material centres
around Lithuanian anti-Soviet resistance in both the 1940s and the
1987-91 period. Using the Lithuanian experience as a baseline,
comparisons with several other Eastern European countries
demonstrate the breadth and depth of the theory. The book
contributes to both the general literature on political violence
and protest, as well as the theoretical literature on collective
action.
