| Title | Social protest in Latvia 2006-2009: Political Disenchantment and Identity Formation |
| Summary | The thesis focuses on social contention in Latvia, and in particular on the last spectacular protest wave prompted by the country’s political misfortunes and recent economic troubles in the context of the global financial crisis. In doing this, two main questions are addressed in the thesis: how do we account for protest activism in Latvia over the period 2006-2009? And what do social contentions reveal about Latvian society, namely its mobilization capacity, main actors involved in protest activities, their motives and the significance of protest activities for broader society? In order to answer the above mentioned questions, newspaper based protest event analysis was used. Information on protest events in Latvia from 2009 to May 2010 was conducted from the daily Diena. |
