Abstract

We conducted pooled time-series analyses to assess how number and size of demonstrations affect the political agenda in Belgium (1993-2000). Taking twenty-five issues into account, this study finds that protest matters for the political agenda setting. This study also advances scholarly understanding of the agenda-setting power of protest by showing that the causal mechanisms of protest impact are complex and contingent. The parliamentary, governmental, and legislative attention for issues is significantly and differently affected by preceding protest activities. The media act as an intermediary variable: media coverage emerges in response to protest and, in turn, affects the political agenda afterwards. Protests on some issues have more effect than on others: in Belgium, new social movements protests are especially effective in causing parliament and government to focus attention on the issue.

抗议的复杂议程设定力:1993-2000年比利时的示威、媒体、议会、政府和立法

我们进行了汇总时间序列分析，以评估示威活动的数量和规模如何影响比利时(1993-2000)的政治议程。考虑到25个问题，本研究发现抗议对政治议程设置很重要。本研究还通过表明抗议影响的因果机制是复杂和偶然的，推进了对抗议议程设置能力的学术理解。议会、政府和立法机构对问题的关注受到先前抗议活动的显著不同影响。媒体充当中介变量:媒体报道是对抗议活动的回应，反过来又影响随后的政治议程。针对某些问题的抗议比针对其他问题的抗议效果更好:在比利时，新社会运动的抗议在促使议会和政府关注这一问题方面尤其有效。

期刊介绍： Mobilization: An International Quarterly is the premier journal of research specializing in social movements, protests, insurgencies, revolutions, and other forms of contentious politics. Mobilization was first published in 1996 to fill the need for a scholarly review of research that focused exclusively with social movements, protest and collective action. Mobilization is fully peer-reviewed and widely indexed. A 2003 study, when Mobilization was published semiannually, showed that its citation index rate was 1.286, which placed it among the top ten sociology journals. Today, Mobilization is published four times a year, in March, June, September, and December. The editorial board is composed of thirty internationally recognized scholars from political science, sociology and social psychology. The goal of Mobilization is to provide a forum for global, scholarly dialogue. It is currently distributed to the top international research libraries and read by the most engaged scholars in the field. We hope that through its wide distribution, different research strategies and theoretical/conceptual approaches will be shared among the global community of social movement scholars, encouraging a collaborative process that will further the development of a cumulative social science.
