Structure of Political Opportunities and Threats, and Movement-Countermovement Interaction in Segmented Composite Regimes
How do changes in the structure of political opportunities and threats shape movement-countermovement interaction in composite regimes where different groups within the population are divided along ethnonational lines? In cases where one movement is structurally disadvantaged and the
other is structurally advantaged, valuable theoretical insights into movement-countermovement interaction can be generated. Employing the case of the Palestinian and Jewish settler movements during the 1987?1992 Intifada, three theoretical propositions are critically examined as they relate
to how changes in the structure of political opportunities and threats influence the emergence and endurance of movement-countermovement interaction, the strategy and tactics of both movements, and the internal dynamics within each.
