政治抗议似乎是发达工业社会政治中无处不在的一个方面，它的使用也可能蔓延到欠发达国家。我们的研究测试了几个竞争理论的抗议活动的公民在一个非常广泛的政治。通过1999-2002年世界价值观调查的数据，我们证明了宏观层面的背景-经济和政治发展水平-显着影响民众抗议的数量。此外，一个多层次的模型探讨了国家背景如何与抗议活动的微观预测因素相互作用。调查结果表明，当代抗议活动的扩大并不是因为对政府日益不满，而是因为经济和政治发展为那些有政治诉求的人提供了资源。
Political protest is seemingly a ubiquitous aspect of politics in advanced industrial societies, and its use may be spreading to less developed nations as well. Our research tests several rival theories of protest activity for citizens across an exceptionally wide range of politics. With data front the 1999-2002 wave of the World Values Survey, we demonstrate that the macro-level context - levels of economic and political development - significantly influences the amount of popular protest. Furthermore, a multi-level model examines how national context interacts with the micro-level predictors of protest activity. The findings indicate that contemporary protest is expanding not because of increasing dissatisfaction With government, but because economic and political development provide the resources For those who have political demands.
