Personal and Social Resources as Incentives for Local Political Protest

ABSTRACT This article investigates the relationships between local political protest as collective action, on the one hand, and personal resources and network resources as incentives, on the other. It is expected that people participate in political protest activities if they have control and power over resources related to the political sphere, e.g., politics-specific competences and agency and the political socialization of individuals (as personal resources) and access to several politics-related resources possessed by members of ego’s network (as social resources). Hypotheses were tested with German survey data. Analyses confirm that both kinds of resources foster local protest. Additionally, it can be shown that the effect of social resources differs according to the type of network ties involved.
