Implication

Empirical analysis reveals five global patterns across 1.2 million protest events in 218 countries, highlighting how individual values and political regimes shape protest movements over time.

Key Points

Protest movements surged across autocracies and weak democracies after the Arab Spring, showing geographic diffusion patterns that spike before declining.
Analysis of 1.2 million protest events across 218 countries demonstrates that annual economic performance does not strongly correlate with protest activity.
Assessment of global records from 1980 to 2020 indicates individual values predict unrest, while academic studies overrepresent the United States, China, and Russia.
