How Civic Mobilizations Grow in Authoritarian Contexts examines 21 recent examples of these mobilizations to determine the factors that helped or hindered their growth. In addition to rich data analysis, the report includes case studies on recent civic mobilizations in Belarus, Sudan, Ethiopia, and Vietnam.
Join us for a presentation of the report findings and a panel discussion about the implications of those findings.
