Revolutionary burnout: exit, paralysis, maturation and the demobilization of mass protest in Lebanon
Principal Investigator:
Studies assessing the outcome of the so-called Arab Spring have focused on the abilities and capacities of regimes to repress or coopt the various revolutionary movements and thus on exogenous factors as the main explanations of revolutionary failure. By contrast, the less repression-linked dynamics of demobilization have remained understudied. This project addresses this gap based on evidence from the aftermath of the Lebanese Thawra of 2019.
