Abstract
Abstract This chapter explores how US military deployments lead to protests against the US and against the US military in particular. US military deployments and bases have long been cited as causing negative externalities in host countries. These negative events may help to mobilize opposition to the US presence. Our analyses yield several important findings, drawing on both individual-level survey data and new country-level protest data. First, our models of individual behavior correctly classify more than 90% of survey respondents’ involvement in anti-US protest activities. These models show that individuals’ attitudes and experiences—not simple demographic traits—offer the strongest predictive power in determining who participates in anti-US protest events. Second, crime victimization, in particular, is a strong predictor of protest involvement. Finally, larger US troop deployments cause more frequent anti-US protest events.
