Abstract

ABSTRACT While antigovernment protests have been widespread across the world in recent years, it is still not well understood why people protest their governments. This study addresses this question and asks why some individuals participate in antigovernment protests, while others don’t. I argue that commitment to democratic values is essential to understanding participation in antigovernment protest: individuals who are committed to democratic values are more likely to participate in an antigovernment protest. With broader implications for political protests in political regimes other than consolidated democracies, this research explores recent widespread protests in Georgia and finds evidence consistent with its primary argument.

反政府抗议与对民主原则的承诺

摘要尽管近年来反政府抗议活动在世界各地广泛存在，但人们仍然不太清楚人们为什么要抗议政府。这项研究解决了这个问题，并询问为什么有些人参加反政府抗议活动，而另一些人则没有。我认为，对民主价值观的承诺对于理解参与反政府抗议至关重要：致力于民主价值观念的个人更有可能参加反政府抗议。这项研究对巩固民主国家以外的政治政权的政治抗议活动有着更广泛的影响，它探索了格鲁吉亚最近广泛的抗议活动，并发现了与其主要论点一致的证据。
