\u201cPopular protests are on the rise, and they are increasingly going global. Over the past five years, popular movements demonstrating against fiscal austerity and corruption have brought down democratic governments from Europe and Latin America to Africa and Asia. Pro-democracy protests in authoritarian countries have also proliferated, with several having succeeded in ousting long-ruling leaders.\u201d \u2014World Politics Review<\/em>, Feb. 24, 2023.<\/h3>\n[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=”full_width_content” full_screen_row_position=”middle” column_margin=”default” column_direction=”default” column_direction_tablet=”default” column_direction_phone=”default” scene_position=”center” top_padding=”32″ text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” row_border_radius=”none” row_border_radius_applies=”bg” overflow=”visible” overlay_strength=”0.3″ gradient_direction=”left_to_right” shape_divider_position=”bottom” bg_image_animation=”none” shape_type=”” gradient_type=”default”][vc_column column_padding=”padding-2-percent” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”right” column_element_direction_desktop=”default” column_element_spacing=”default” desktop_text_alignment=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_backdrop_filter=”none” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” column_position=”default” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1\/1″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” animation_type=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][vc_column_text]Against that backdrop, Eckerd College Political Science and International Relations and Global Affairs Professors Michael Burch<\/a>, Allison Quatrini<\/a>, Mary Meyer McAleese<\/a> and Sidra Hamidi<\/a> led a public discussion March 1 centered on recent large-scale protests in Iran, China and Brazil.

Allison Quatrini, Ph.D., an assistant professor of political science who has been working in China since 2007, noted that massive protests in that country recently were in response to a deteriorating economy and excessive COVID-19 restrictions. \u201cAt least 10 people died in an apartment building because the people were locked inside and couldn\u2019t leave,\u201d Quatrini said, adding that a popular form of protest was to hold up white pieces of paper. Nothing was written on the paper, Quatrini said, \u201cbut the meaning was clear.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=”full_width_content” full_screen_row_position=”middle” column_margin=”default” column_direction=”default” column_direction_tablet=”default” column_direction_phone=”default” scene_position=”center” top_padding=”32″ text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” row_border_radius=”none” row_border_radius_applies=”bg” overflow=”visible” advanced_gradient_angle=”0″ overlay_strength=”0.3″ gradient_direction=”left_to_right” shape_divider_position=”bottom” bg_image_animation=”none” shape_type=”” gradient_type=”default”][vc_column column_padding=”padding-2-percent” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” column_element_direction_desktop=”default” column_element_spacing=”default” desktop_text_alignment=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_backdrop_filter=”none” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” column_position=”default” el_class=”lg_text” advanced_gradient_angle=”0″ gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1\/1″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” animation_type=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid” gradient_type=”default”][vc_column_text]\u201cWe\u2019re also seeing many more young women participating,\u201d she added, \u201cand the protests are pan-ethnic.

She also noted large-scale anti-government protests in Peru and Mexico. \u201cIn Latin America,\u201d she added, \u201cpeople are really angry about the economy and corruption. There\u2019s high inflation, and the elites control most of the wealth.\u201d<\/p>\n

Michael Burch, Ph.D., associate professor of political science, pointed to the massive protests last fall in Iran over 22-year-old Mahsa Amini, who died in police custody in September after her arrest for \u201cimproperly wearing\u201d her hijab. Burch noted that protests were held not just in the capital of Tehran but in rural areas and even during the opening of the 2022 World Cup soccer tournament, when Iranian players refused to sing their country\u2019s national anthem.<\/p>\n

\u201cBut there was a very strong response to quell the protests,\u201d Burch added. \u201cThere were hundreds of arrests and the use of physical violence, including using rubber bullets that were shot into the eyes of the protesters.\u201d[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=”full_width_content” full_screen_row_position=”middle” column_margin=”default” column_direction=”default” column_direction_tablet=”default” column_direction_phone=”default” scene_position=”center” top_padding=”64″ bottom_padding=”64″ text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” row_border_radius=”none” row_border_radius_applies=”bg” overflow=”visible” advanced_gradient_angle=”0″ overlay_strength=”0.3″ gradient_direction=”left_to_right” shape_divider_position=”bottom” bg_image_animation=”none” shape_type=”” gradient_type=”default”][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”right” column_element_direction_desktop=”default” column_element_spacing=”default” desktop_text_alignment=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_backdrop_filter=”none” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” column_position=”default” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1\/1″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” animation_type=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid” column_padding_type=”default” gradient_type=”default”][image_with_animation image_url=”10460″ image_size=”full” animation_type=”entrance” animation=”None” animation_movement_type=”transform_y” hover_animation=”none” alignment=”” img_link_large=”yes” border_radius=”none” box_shadow=”none” image_loading=”default” max_width=”100%” max_width_mobile=”default”][vc_column_text]Assistant Professor of Political Science Sidra Hamidi<\/em>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=”full_width_content” full_screen_row_position=”middle” column_margin=”default” column_direction=”default” column_direction_tablet=”default” column_direction_phone=”default” scene_position=”center” top_padding=”32″ bottom_padding=”32″ text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” row_border_radius=”none” row_border_radius_applies=”bg” overflow=”visible” advanced_gradient_angle=”0″ overlay_strength=”0.3″ gradient_direction=”left_to_right” shape_divider_position=”bottom” bg_image_animation=”none” shape_type=”” gradient_type=”default”][vc_column column_padding=”padding-2-percent” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”right” column_element_direction_desktop=”default” column_element_spacing=”default” desktop_text_alignment=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_backdrop_filter=”none” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” column_position=”default” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1\/1″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” animation_type=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][vc_column_text]Israel is another country experiencing widespread protest, Burch said, centered mostly on Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who is under investigation for corruption but is pushing a judicial reform bill that would allow a prime minister to avoid prosecution. \u201cThere were massive street protests in Israel just last weekend,\u201d Burch added. \u201cAnd the Israeli police used stun grenades and tear gas to break them up.\u201d<\/p>\n

But it\u2019s not just politics that spark national protests, said Sidra Hamidi, Ph.D., an assistant professor of political science who organized the event. The gap between rich and poor as well as a lack of inclusion also play key roles. \u201cEconomic inequality transcends borders,\u201d she said. \u201cWhat can we learn from these actions? One thing is that success is hard to define.\u201d<\/p>\n

The simple act of standing up to authority, Meyer McAleese added, is inherently good and healthy for the democratic process, and for those looking to emulate it. \u201cThere are protests in China right now,\u201d Quatrini said. \u201cEvery day.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cSo don\u2019t be afraid,\u201d Meyer McAleese told the audience of mostly students. \u201cBe involved. Vote.\u201d[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
