Despite their importance, both terms are still haunted by a lack of thorough definitions. We introduce a blog series with ten weekly contributions on their interrelation, outlining several innovative approaches and suggesting some vantage points for rethinking 'Movements' and 'Institutions' in a productive manner.

Socioeconomic Protests in MENA and Latin America, 2019

In line with the overall topic of the book, the focus is on the dynamics of socioeconomic protests since the 2011 revolutions. Empirically, the chapter is based on the data provided by the Armed Conflict Location & Event Data Project (ACLED), which has been coded and analyzed so as to specifically grasp socioeconomic contention. After briefly describing the data and the methods used, the chapter presents and discusses the main findings on the overall evolution of protests and the specific dynamics of socioeconomic contention in Egypt and Tunisia between 2011 and 2016. After looking at the protest numbers in both countries and their evolution over time, it assesses the protest actors, their claims, the different tactics used, and the geographical patterns of socioeconomic protests. In a final step, the chapter discusses the results of the data analysis from a comparative perspective and finds important differences in the quantity and striking similarities in the quality of socioeconomic protest in the two countries.

Since 2015, ever bigger protests have been held to demand employment and better living conditions.
Using qualitative and quantitative methods, Jan-Philipp Vatthauer and Irene Weipert-Fenner investigate who is using which form of protest to demand what. They clarify why civil society actors have not been able to mediate between politicians and protesters. They argue that including protesters in social dialogue fora and reforming recruitment practices can help create social peace.
Jan-Philipp Vatthauer and Irene Weipert-Fenner are working on the PRIF project, „Socioeconomic Protests and Political Transformations: Dynamics of Contentious Politics in Egypt and Tunisia Against the Background of South American Experiences,“ which is directed by Dr Weipert-Fenner and Dr Jonas Wolff.

Seit 2015 gibt es immer größer werdende Wellen von Protesten für Arbeit und bessere Lebensbedingungen. Jan-Philipp Vatthauer und Irene Weipert-Fenner untersuchen auf Basis quantitativer und qualitativer Analysen, wer in welchen Formen protestiert und welche Forderungen gestellt werden. Sie klären außerdem, warum zivilgesellschaftliche Akteure bisher scheiterten, zwischen Politik und Protestakteuren zu vermitteln. Sie zeigen, dass bereits die Inklusion von Protestierenden in soziale Dialogforen und die Reform von Einstellungsverfahren einen ersten Schritt in Richtung des sozialen Friedens darstellen können.
