Abstract
This chapter elaborates on contentious mobilization and democratic outcomes under a cross-national perspective. It considers whether democracies that emerge from sustained unarmed mobilization improve their quality in comparison with other new democracies. Democracies that emerge from longer periods of mass mobilization are more likely to survive, improve, and achieve a robust civil society. The chapter discusses the effects of an unarmed mobilization on four different but related outcomes, referencing the notions of democratic failure, electoral democracy, liberal democracy, and civil society. It also explores the effect of mass mobilization for democratic survival and democratic quality and the factors that determine the length of unarmed mobilizations resulting in democratic transitions.
