Mapping mass-mobilization: understanding revolutionary moments in Argentina and Ukraine

Through a paired comparison of two moments of mass mobilization, in Ukraine and Argentina, focusing on the role of different actors involved, this text maps out a multi-layered sequence of events leading up to mass mobilization.

"A timely and creative analysis that sheds light on both the dynamics of mass mobilization and the broader political environment of Ukraine and Argentina."--Nancy Bermeo, Professor of Comparative Politics, Nuffield College, University of Oxford, UK 'Onuch's comparison of revolutionary moments in Argentina in 2001 and Ukraine in 2004 demonstrates that mobilizational upsurges are not one-off exercises, but rather culminate out of a series of inter-related episodes over a protracted period of time. She thus provides us with a deepened, historicized understanding of contemporary revolutionary processes.' - Mark R. Beissinger, Professor of Politics, Princeton University, USA.
