Dissent Repression Nexus project website

Abstract

To tackle the dissent/repression nexus, we come together as an interdisciplinary team of political scientists and sociologists with expertise in international relations and complementary theoretical and methodological skills to focus on dissent and repression in the Middle East. The project aims to: develop a database that incorporates data from both quantitative and qualitative sources, train students and professionals in the use of multiple methodologies related to understanding the repression/dissent nexus, maintain a webpage with frequent updates on the theoretical and methodological aspects of the project, develop a special journal issue on multi-method techniques and their applications to problems of dissent and repression, and, write a monograph on understanding repression and dissent in a globalized society.
