Kahvecioğlu, AnılDemirel-Pegg, T.Aytürk, İlker2023-02-252023-02-252022-08-28http://hdl.handle.net/11693/111726The repression-protest nexus in authoritarian regimes has attracted scholarly attention of contention scholars for a long time. However, studies have generally overlooked pro-government actors’ role in contentious dynamics. This article introduces an original event dataset on protests, repression, and pro-government rallies in Turkey under the rule of the Justice and Development Party during a period in which authoritarianism has increased in intensity. Using protest event analysis, this dataset includes actions of governments, pro-government actors, and dissidents hand-coded from two newspapers between 1 January 2013, and 31 December 2016. The dataset enables researchers to study pro-government rallies (PGRs), anti-government protests, and state actions during a heightened period of contention in Turkey.EnglishProtestRepressionPro-government ralliesMobilizationTurkish politicsPopulist authoritarianismArticle10.1080/14683857.2022.21141971743-9639
