Mass Mobilization in the Modern Era: Introducing the Opposition Movements and Groups (OMG) Dataset, 1789-2019
Descripción general
Resumen del artículo
This paper introduces the Opposition Movements and Groups (OMG) dataset, which contains information on 1452 mass mobilization movements from 1789 to 2019. The authors use the dataset to document historical trends in mass mobilization, including a shift towards nonviolent tactics and changes in the dominant ideologies and social groups involved in movements. The paper also explores the relationship between nonviolent mobilization and democratization, finding that the relationship is positive but conditional on movement characteristics such as demands, ideology, and social composition.
