All of you who want to map, to analyse and to interpret the occurrence and properties of protest events in Spain, Portugal, Croatia and Serbia are in the right place.
Within the project “Disobedient Democracy: A Comparative Analysis of Contentious Politics in European Semi-periphery” we created a dataset covering over 12000 protest events that took place in these countries between January 1st 2000 and December 31st 2017.
The dataset is based on newspaper data from two national dailies from each of the four countries.
Data collection was undertaken during 2017 and 2018 at the Faculty of Political Science of the University of Zagreb, at Complutense University of Madrid, Nova University of Lisbon and the Institute for Philosophy and Social Theory in Belgrade.
