Publication Type: Conference Paper/Unpublished Manuscript Review Method: Peer Reviewed Abstract: Extant models of popular rebellion, while insightful and intricate, have thus far been unable to account both for the phenomenon’s general empirical regularities and its specific highly varied incarnations. I propose a dynamic model in which I merge abstracted individual behavior with aggregate institutions including social networks, oppressive government action, and the mass media in order to derive several testable implications regarding the interaction between the form of interpersonal connectivity and the likelihood and form of rebellion within a society. I find that the exact form of the social network is frequently of great importance in understanding the spread of rebellion, particularly in its relation to the strength of an oppressive state attempting to quell societal unrest. Networks that rely on a few highly-connected individuals for information transferal are found to be particularly susceptible to the depredations of an oppressive state, though this often means less bloodshed during the aborted social movement. A well-respected mass media can assuage this susceptibility somewhat, working most powerfully when it combines tightly-connected insular groups with information from heretofore unknown social spaces.
