88% Informative

University of Massachusetts Amherst study provides insights into why some autocratic governments draw fewer large-scale protests than others.

The study presents three mechanisms by which these parties suppress anti-government demonstrations.

The more institutionalized a ruling party is, the less likely protests are to topple a nondemocratic regime.

In countries with entrenched parties in power, corruption has little to no effect on protest levels.
