Abstract
The study aims to extend the existing knowledge about the dynamics of firsttime participation in protest events To tackle that puzzle we rely on extensive and innovative protest survey evidence covering 18 separate demonstrations in eight countries across nine different issues On the individual level age motivation and nonorganizational mobilization appear to be consistent and robust predictors of firsttimership On the aggregate level demonstrations staged just after or during a protest wave large demonstrations and demonstrations of old or new emotional movements are attended by a relatively larger share of firsttimers We conclude that it is thus the interplay of individual and aggregatelevel determinants that produces firsttime participationThis article was written within the framework of the PARTIREP project PARTIREP is an Interuniversitary Attraction Pole UAP funded by the Belgian Science Policy and involving the Universitites of Antwerp UA Brussels VUB ULB Leiden Universiteit Leiden and Leuven KULeuven
