In times of great public discontent, people often turn to urban spaces to make their opinions heard and to demand change, with varying degrees of success. How are mass protests affected by the urban public space in which they occur? This book provides a theoretical model to analyze city spaces, based on the use of theories from political science, urban planning, and sociology. Hansen?s approach consists of a mapping of the causal mechanisms between spatial elements, the political environment, and their combined effects on protests. This mapping is applied to three case studies?Kyiv, Minsk, and Moscow. In addition to the spatial perspective model, Urban Protest provides new insights as to how the interactions in space occur, and demonstrates how geography can create limitations and opportunities in a large variety of ways. 410 0$aSoviet and post-Soviet politics and society ;$vVolume 234. 606 $acollective action 606 $acolour revolution 606 $aDemonstration 606 $aGeography 606 $aMass Protests 606 $aPolitical environment 606 $aPublic space 606 $aUrban contention 606 $aUrbanism 615 4$acollective action 615 4$acolour revolution 615 4$aDemonstration 615 4$aGeography 615 4$aMass Protests 615 4$aPolitical environment 615 4$aPublic space 615 4$aUrban contention 615 4$aUrbanism 676 $a307.76 700 $aHansen$b Arve$4aut$01108009 702 $aUmland$b Andreas$cDr.$4edt 702 $aWilhelmsen$b Julie$4aui 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910962042403321 996 $aUrban protest$93988670 997 $aUNINA
