Chenoweth has updated the bottom participation threshold required for
the successful overthrow of governments. Can you guess what this number
is? It’s not 50+1% of the population, nor is it 20% or 5%, as previously thought.
Astoundingly, it takes “the active and sustained

at social movements
organizing against
oppressive regimes
from 1900 to 2006.
