摘要

在什么条件下，专制立法机构会影响抗议动员的速度？人口因素，即城市增长，如何与立法反应相交叉，以解释抗议活动的变化？本研究旨在解释独裁国家阿尔及利亚的抗议活动模式。利用2015年至2021年议会问题和抗议事件数据的原始数据集，我们分析了省级响应对抗议活动变化的影响。我们的研究结果表明，立法机构对选民要求的响应程度提高，与省一级的抗议活动减少有关。我们还发现了城市增长和抗议活动之间的非线性关系。我们的研究有助于研究威权背景下的立法反应能力，特别是政治和人口因素如何加剧或减弱对政权的街头威胁。

Legislative responsiveness, urban growth, and popular mobilization: Evidence from Algeria

Under what conditions do autocratic legislatures affect the rates of protest mobilization? How do demographic factors, namely urban growth, intersect with legislative responsiveness to explain variations in protest activity? This study aims to explain patterns of protest activity in an autocratic country, Algeria. Drawing on an original dataset of parliamentary questions and protest event data from 2015 to 2021, we analyze the impact of governorate-level responsiveness on variations in protest activity. Our findings show that increased legislative responsiveness to constituents’ demands is associated with fewer protests at the governorate-level. We also uncover a nonlinear relationship between urban growth and protest activity. Our study contributes to scholarship on legislative responsiveness in authoritarian contexts, particularly concerning how political and demographic factors may exacerbate or attenuate street-level threats to regimes.

期刊介绍： World Development is a multi-disciplinary monthly journal of development studies. It seeks to explore ways of improving standards of living, and the human condition generally, by examining potential solutions to problems such as: poverty, unemployment, malnutrition, disease, lack of shelter, environmental degradation, inadequate scientific and technological resources, trade and payments imbalances, international debt, gender and ethnic discrimination, militarism and civil conflict, and lack of popular participation in economic and political life. Contributions offer constructive ideas and analysis, and highlight the lessons to be learned from the experiences of different nations, societies, and economies.
