The less trust a person has in their regime, the more likely they are to mobilize and demonstrate against this regime when a political opportunity is prevalent. On the other hand, the low levels of generalized trust of citizens towards one another impact the extent to which a contentious event lasts and the extent to which social movements themselves fragment. An authoritarian regime can utilize different strategies of cooptation and repression, which trigger the already existing low trust levels, leading to fragmentation and weakness. Thus, low generalized trust levels are correlated to low trust levels among social movement actors, which impede activists and movements&#8217; abilities to develop and sustain strong networks, leading to movement fragmentation and weakness in the aftermath of large-scale contentious events.    <\/p>\n\n<p><strong>Events:<\/strong><br\/><em>22 June 2022, 6 pm<\/em><br\/>Lecture within the ConTrust Speaker Series: &#8220;State-led Repression, low trust levels and Mobilization in the MENA&#8221;<\/p>\n\n<p><em>17 May 2022, 2:30 pm<\/em><br\/>PRIF Colloquium: Discussion on &#8220;Activism, Repression and Mobilization in Jordan&#8221;<\/p>\n\n<p>Workshop for Special Issue on Trust and Mobilization &#8220;The Consequences of Low Trust Levels on Contentious Politics in Authoritarian Regimes: Evidence from the MENA&#8221;<br\/>Further information will follow<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Associate Professor of Comparative Politics, American University in Cairo, Cairo, Egypt Research project title:The Consequences of low trust levels on contentious politics in authoritarian regimes: Evidence from the MENA Research [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":1590,"template":"","meta":{"inline_featured_image":false,"_members_access_role":[],"_members_access_error":"","_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"position":[213],"institute":[],"class_list":["post-8219","member","type-member","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","position-former-fellow"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/normativeorders.net\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/member\/8219"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/normativeorders.net\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/member"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/normativeorders.net\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/member"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/normativeorders.net\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/4"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/normativeorders.net\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1590"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/normativeorders.net\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=8219"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"position","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/normativeorders.net\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/position?post=8219"},{"taxonomy":"institute","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/normativeorders.net\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/institute?post=8219"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
