Using data compiled from a variety of different sources, we seek to answer questions about the emergence and outcomes of women’s collective action in the United States between 1956 and 1979. In particular, we examine hypotheses derived from political opportunity and resource mobilization theories about the emergence of women’s protest. We also examine the consequence of women’s collective actio...

Of the three forms of protest the propensity of word of mouth (WOM) seems to be the most common, and the most exclusive form of protest seems to be exit. The propensity for voice lies in between. The costs linked to voice influence the propensity for WOM. The customers seem to do an evaluation between the three forms of protest, yet the rational picture of the customers should be moderated. Lea...

We present a corpus for protest event mining that combines token-level annotation with the event schema and ontology of entities and events from protest research in the social sciences. The dataset uses newswire reports from the English Gigaword corpus. The token-level annotation is inspired by annotation standards for event extraction, in particular that of the Automated Content Extraction 200...

This article presents an integrated model of contentious nationalist activity, with structure, politics, and action assuming equal roles in an interdependent causal system. The model is tested using simultaneous equation systems on 130 ethno-nationalist groups from 1990 to 1998. The results confirm the vital, indirect role of grievances and group identity on protest and the powerful direct and ...

We argue that the disproportionate attention accorded the struggles of the sixties has created a stylized image of social movements that threatens to distort our understanding of popular contention, not only in earlier periods and in nondemocratic contexts, but also in the contemporary U.S. This stylized view tends to equate movements with (a) disruptive protest in public settings, (b) loosely ...

MOTIVATION An automatic sequence searching method (ProtEST) is described which constructs multiple protein sequence alignments from protein sequences and translated expressed sequence tags (ESTs). ProtEST is more effective than a simple TBLASTN search of the query against the EST database, as the sequences are automatically clustered, assembled, made non-redundant, checked for sequence errors, ...

A mock protest confrontation staged yesterday afternoon in the Huddle by members of the C.Y.O. and S.L.E.R.T. proved unexpectedly successful when the objects of the protest, the two shooting-gam e machines, were ordered removed from the Huddle by manager Ernest Eero. The protest, part o f a continu­ ing joke being played by both groups in a reversal of their well known political positions, cons...

The youth have long represented an important constituency for electoral mobilization in Africa. Today, as the region faces a growing ‘youth bulge’ that is disproportionately burdened by unand underemployment, capturing the votes of this demographic is becoming more important than ever before. Yet, despite their numerical importance and the historical relevance of generational identities within ...
