为什么非洲一些城市地区的抗议发生率高于其他地区?许多作者强调了城市化和民主化在决定城市抗议率的跨国差异方面的作用。然而,由于未能在适当的空间尺度上衡量各种机制,未能对具有充分代表性的城市中心样本进行分析,未能消除地方和国家层面因素的混淆,未能考虑具体城市中心是什么影响了抗议发生率的变化,因此无法理解这些机制。本文通过将城市中心数据库中关于城市住区的地理参考数据与武装冲突地点和事件数据集中的抗议事件地点联系起来,提出了关于非洲城市中心抗议活动决定因素的新证据。拟合一系列多层次的回归模型与跨水平的影响,我们同时估计抗议发生率的变化作为地方和国家层面的因素和它们之间的相互作用的函数。我们的研究结果表明,在抗议incidencebetronurban中心之间的变化可以解释由当地的具体和国家层面的背景因素,包括人口规模和增长,政权类型,民间社会的能力,以及城市中心是否具有政治意义的组合。这些发现推进了我们对政治和人口因素如何相互作用并影响非洲城市抗议发生率的理解。
Why do some of Africa's urban areas experience higher rates of protest incidence than others? Numerous authors have highlighted the role of urbanisation and democratisation in determining cross-national variation in the rates of urban protest. Yet understanding has been hindered by failures to measure mechanisms at the appropriate spatial scale, analyse a sufficiently representative sample of urban centres, de-confound local and country-level factors, and consider what it is about specific urban centres that shapes variation in protest incidence. This paper presents new evidence on the determinants of protests in African urban centres by linking georeferenced data on urban settlements from the Urban Centres Database to the location of protest events taken from the Armed Conflict Location and Event Dataset. Fitting a series of multilevel regression models with cross-level effects, we simultaneously estimate variation in protest incidence as a function of local- and country-level factors and the interactions between them. Our results indicate that variation in protest incidencebetweenurban centres can be explained by a combination of local-specific and country-level contextual factors including population size and growth, regime type, civil society capacity, and whether an urban centre is politically significant. These findings advance our understanding of how political and demographic factors interact and influence protest incidence in urban Africa.
