Replication Data for: "Violence, what is it good for? Waves of riotous-violent protest and democracy"

Under what conditions do riotous-violent protests increase the likelihood of protest
success? The protest literature has largely found that riotous-violent protests (RVPs)
are not effective. However, a burgeoning literature contradicts these findings. We
extend this literature by exploring how waves of RVPs increase the likelihood of
protest success. Protesters learn from past protest-government response dyads,
which reduces the costs of continued protest in the face of repression. The
temporal accumulation of riotous-violent protests exhausts the resources and
collective will of the regime to continually hold out on protester demands. Thus, as
the number of RVPs increases in a country-year, we expect there to be a coinciding
increase in instances of government accommodation. Furthermore, we argue that
democracy conditions the relationship between waves of RVPs and protest success.
We conduct a cross-national observational data analysis of 119 countries from 1990
to 2019 using data from the Mass Mobilization Project. Our results support both of
our hypotheses.
