Abstract
The chapter discusses how institutional decentralization and mobilizing agencies might be associated with engagement in political protest. Decentralization is believed to increase the likelihood of participation in protest politics because it brings citizens closer to the political process, it enlarges the number of citizens interested in the decision-making process, it increases the chances of success of social movements, and it reduces the costs of political protest. This chapter also shows that membership in two types of organizations – interest organizations and political parties – could be associated with political protest depending on the level of decentralization.
