New Study Reveals a World of Growing Protests

“World Protests: A study of Key Protest Issues in the 21st Century”, a joint work of the Friedrich Ebert Stiftung, the Institute for Policy Dialogue, and Global Social Justice, follows a similar study done almost a decade ago in the wake of the Arab Spring and Occupy protests. The authors pored through data about thousands of protests and protest movements from 2006 to 2020 in 101 countries representing 93% of humanity. They studied the composition, message, attendance, success rate, and other factors for each protest.
