The Belarus crisis: people, protest, and political dispositions

Olga Onuch et al.

Summary: This article examines the case of mass mobilization in Belarus that started in August 2020, using established social science theory for a comparative analysis. The authors argue that this is a typical example of protest mobilization in a competitive authoritarian context, rather than an exceptional case. They provide empirical and methodological guidance for studying and analyzing such cases, cautioning against accepting initial reports of mass protest at face value. The study underscores the importance and ethical challenges of studying stability and change in public opinion and state-society relations in authoritarian settings.
