Gender Ideologies and Forms of Contentious Mobilization in Middle East
نویسندگان
چکیده
This article explores those factors which shape a political organization’s choice of tactics in political mobilization with a particular focus on the influence of gender ideology. To understand why political organizations engaging in contentious politics choose to employ violent tactics, nonviolent tactics, or a mixture of both, current scholarship has tended to focus on factors such as relationship with the government, external support, and religious or leftist ideology. Far less attention has been given to the role of an organization’s ideology relating to gender when predicting its behavior. We employ a time series multinomial logistic regression analysis to examine the Middle East Minorities at Risk Organizational Behavior dataset (MAROB), including data on 104 ethnopolitical organizations over 24 years using a range of tactics including protest, violence, and/or a mix of the two, to investigate organizational and state level variables that lead organizations to choose different strategies. We find that a number of variables can influence a movement’s choice to engage in one strategy over another. The most interesting and surprising of these factors is the organization’s ideology regarding the role of women in society.
