Middle East Mass Movements Databasehttps://doi.org/10.7910/DVN/VKECUKKosack, StephenSmith, EvannHarvard Dataverse2019-12-102022-03-23T12:52:00ZThe Middle East Mass Movements Database, a part of the larger Mass Movements Project, contains basic characteristics of all mass movements in the region for each year that they mobilize at least 1,000 participants in costly action for a least a month in pursuit of a common political goal. The data are the result of a lengthy coding process in which two researchers independently explore each known mobilization with all available secondary sources and, if they determine that it meets the thresholds, separately code its observable characteristics; any coding disagreements are resolved by moderated debate until the researchers reach consensus. The data cover 16 variables on movement characteristics, including mobilizing identities, organization, and action, for the 19 countries of the Middle East and North Africa from 1900-2012.Social SciencesMass movementSocial movementMobilizationMiddle EastSmith, Evann (2016).
