Collective Action Theory and Empirical Evidence

The book delves into the empirical testing of collective action theory, particularly its implications for mobilization. Utilizing the award-winning European Protest and Coercion Data, the author examines various aspects of mobilization, including leadership's critical role and the development of effective tactics to support public goods while minimizing repression. It also explores spatial hypotheses related to rationality in protests and addresses issues of terror in the Basque region and Northern Ireland. This comprehensive analysis is geared towards political scientists and researchers interested in mobilization dynamics.
