Abstract

Revolutionary protest rarely begins as democratic or revolutionary. Instead, it grows in a process of positive feedback, incorporating new constituencies and generating new demands. If protest is not revolutionary at its onset, theory should reflect this and be able to explain the endogenous emergence of democratic demands. In this article, I combine multiple data sources on the 2010–2011 Tunisian Revolution, including survey data, an original event catalogue, and field interviews. I show that the correlates of protest occurrence and participation change significantly during the uprising. Using the Tunisian case as a theory-building exercise, I argue that the formation of protest coalitions is essential, rather than incidental, to democratic revolution.
革命抗议的过程:突尼斯革命的发展与民主
革命抗议很少以民主或革命的方式开始。相反,它是在一个积极反馈的过程中成长的,它吸收了新的支持者,产生了新的需求。如果抗议从一开始就不是革命性的,理论应该反映这一点,并能够解释民主要求的内生出现。在这篇文章中,我结合了2010-2011年突尼斯革命的多个数据来源,包括调查数据、原始事件目录和实地采访。我表明,在起义期间,抗议发生和参与的相关关系发生了显著变化。我以突尼斯的案例作为理论构建的实践,认为抗议联盟的形成对于民主革命来说是必不可少的,而不是偶然的。
