Protesters, Counterprotesters, and the Authorities

Abstract: This article focuses on a comparison of direct action and its political effects in Italy and Northern Ireland in the period from 1967 to 1992. It traces how these two unstable one-party democracies were profoundly affected by waves of protest with similar origins that began in the late 1960s. The analysis leads to a consideration of some of the positive and negative consequences of protest and direct action. Central to these political outcomes are the structures and processes of interactions between protesters, counterprotesters, and the authorities.
