Daniel Silverman presents his paper "Is Protest a Luxury? Evidence from Post-ISIS Iraq" as part of the "Protests and social movements" session of the 2022 WIDER Development Conference "The puzzle of peace – towards inclusive development in fragile contexts."

Recent years have seen some of the largest waves of mass protests and social movements. This session will bring together leading experts on protest and social movements across different disciplines and with differing regional focuses to discuss which economic and psychological factors motivate protest, how security conditions shape contentious politics, and when social movements can spark change, while taking a closer look at the effect of Covid-19 on protest movements around the world.
