9310036 Beissinger This research extends our understanding of nationalist mobilization through an empirical investigation of the wave of mass unrest that engulfed the former USSR during the glasnost'period. A unique set of event-level data on thousands of demonstrations, strikes, and mass violent events in the former Soviet Union to be completed during this research will explore the role played by the dynamics of political change and political opportunities in structuring national consciousness and ethnic mobilization. The data are the only systematic and detailed record of mass protest activity in the former USSR currently in existence. Building on previous research, the project uses this unique set of data to provide new insights into the glasnost'protest cycle, as well as to explore the ways in which politics acts to structure ethnic identitites and ethnic political action. Unlike traditional approaches to the study of nationalist mobilization, this study takes the political arena itself as a key factor in determining the nature and intensity of ethnic mass action. In particular, the project focuses on the effects of political liberalization, elite conflict and turnover, governmental coercion, and electoral competition on ethnic mobilization and conflict. Data gathered on these factors are used to explore their roles in triggering waves of ethnic mobilization and in shaping the character of protest.

9310036 Beissinger 这项研究通过对开放时期席卷前苏联的大规模骚乱浪潮的实证调查，扩展了我们对民族主义动员的理解。 本研究期间将完成一组关于前苏联数千次示威、罢工和大规模暴力事件的独特事件级数据，将探讨政治变革和政治机遇的动态在构建国家意识和民族动员方面所发挥的作用。 这些数据是目前存在的唯一系统且详细的前苏联大规模抗议活动记录。 该项目以之前的研究为基础，利用这套独特的数据为开放的抗议周期提供新的见解，并探索政治如何构建种族身份和种族政治行动。 与民族主义动员研究的传统方法不同，本研究将政治舞台本身作为决定民族群众行动的性质和强度的关键因素。 该项目特别关注政治自由化、精英冲突和更替、政府胁迫以及选举竞争对种族动员和冲突的影响。 收集的这些因素的数据用于探索它们在引发种族动员浪潮和塑造抗议特征方面的作用。
