Abstract
Chapters 3, 4, and 5 are dedicated to the study of general dynamics of contention in democratizing Korea, Thailand, and Indonesia. To assess the pressure, protesters are able to mount against their authoritarian rulers, and several factors have been taken into account. Chapter 3 analyzes the general level of protest intensity in the countries during regime change. This analysis establishes a key difference between the countries that we explain in the remainder of the book: while the level of total protest in the three democratizing countries is everywhere high, protest in democratizing Korea and Indonesia undergoes a highly dynamic development as compared to Thailand, where protest is much more equally distributed over time.
