Determinants of Participation in Protests in the Arab Uprisings: Grievances and Opportunities in Egypt and Tunisia

Abstract

The bourgeoning literature on the protestors of the Arab Uprisings proposed several arguments about participation in protests in reference to grievances and opportunities. However, these arguments did not directly test both grievances and opportunities in a comparative setting. Using survey evidence, this article explores the role of grievances and opportunities on participation in protests in Egypt and Tunisia. It argues that grievances for Tunisians and opportunities for Egyptians played the main role for the decision to participate. Particularly, the Egyptians who followed the news and the developments in Tunisia more closely perceived such an opportunity to protest against their regime.

Abstract

Arap Ayaklanmaları’ndaki protestocular üzerine gelişmekte olan literatür, protestolara katılım konusunda sıkıntılar ve fırsatlara referansla muhtelif argümanlar sunmuştur. Ancak bu argümanlar sıkıntılar ve fırsatları karşılaştırmalı bir şekilde doğrudan test etmemiştir. Bu makale, anket bulgularını kullanarak, Mısır ve Tunus’ta protestolara katılım hususunda sıkıntılar ve fırsatların rolünü incelemektedir. Buna göre Tunus’ta sıkıntılar, Mısır’da ise fırsatlar protestolara katılıma karar verme konusunda en önemli rolü oynamıştır. Özellikle Mısır’da haberleri ve Tunus’taki gelişmeleri daha yakından takip eden bireyler ülkelerinin siyasal rejimlerine karşı protesto edebilmeleri için bir fırsat olduğuna dair bir algıya ulaşmıştır.
