Экономические истоки революций: связь между ВВП и рисками революционных выступлений
Полития: Анализ. Хроника. Прогноз. 2023. Т. 108. № 1. С. 64–87.
in recent years, numerous studies have appeared that analyze the influence of different factors on the probability of revolutionary events. However, an important set of modernization variables (GDP, urbanization, education, democratization) still remains understudied. Moreover, the results of recent quantitative studies show significant discrepancies in how welfare (operationalized through GDP per capita) affects the risks of revolutions. This paper attempts to bring clarity to the study of the impact of welfare on revolutionary instability. In particular, strong discrepancies in the results of previous studies can be caused by looking at revolutions in the aggregate, without dividing them into armed or unarmed ones. We therefore conducted an analysis of revolutionary instability over the period 1900–2019, including 425 revolutionary episodes of various types. Among the main results we can highlight the existence of a strong linear negative relationship between armed revolutions and the level of GDP per capita, while the relationship between unarmed revolutions and welfare behaves curvilinear: first, as GDP per capita increases, the risks of unarmed revolutions increase, but after reaching a certain level they begin to fall. The inflection point, when the risks of unarmed revolutionary instability are greatest, can be considered the level of GDP per capita of middle-income countries, which currently face the middle-income trap. In other words, their welfare stagnates at the level that is most risky for the emergence of unarmed revolutions. Therefore, in addition to the obvious economic problems associated with the middle-income trap, one must also consider the fact that it leads to increased risks of revolutionary instability.

In recent years, a kind of “Berlin Wall” has emerged between the study of “revolutions” and “maximalist campaigns.” Although scholars in these two traditions analyze closely related phenomena, they use different terminology, bodies of literature, and empirical conventions.

Governance is rapidly digitising, yet how citizens’ emotions towards algorithmic policy decision-making relate to their trust in governance institutions remains understudied. Drawing on the affect-as-information model, we argue that emotions constitute a distinct input into institutional trust judgements, operating both directly and by conditioning the weight of cognitive evaluations. We test this argument with a ...
