Thesis (Ph.D.)--University of Virginia, 2005.

The question of how social movement activists achieve their goals, and whether their activities affect government decision-making, has only recently become the focus of much theorizing and research. The current project addresses these questions in regard to regional movements, for whom the primary goals are decentralization, recognition of regional distinction, and often, separatism. I argue that to procure concessions, regional elites must raise the government's costs of rejecting their requests. They do so most effectively by posing electoral and violent challenges ("Scale of Action") and mobilizing the support of the domestic public and key foreign actors ("Group Power"). Governments then estimate the costs of rejecting regional demands, and choose the least costly response that allows their party to stay in office.

520 $a The question of how social movement activists achieve their goals, and whether their activities affect government decision-making, has only recently become the focus of much theorizing and research. The current project addresses these questions in regard to regional movements, for whom the primary goals are decentralization, recognition of regional distinction, and often, separatism. I argue that to procure concessions, regional elites must raise the government's costs of rejecting their requests. They do so most effectively by posing electoral and violent challenges ("Scale of Action") and mobilizing the support of the domestic public and key foreign actors ("Group Power"). Governments then estimate the costs of rejecting regional demands, and choose the least costly response that allows their party to stay in office.
520 $a These hypotheses are explored through two detailed case studies, Quebec (1960--2000) and Ireland (1879--1921), and through brief study of several other regions. This evidence largely undermines two rival frameworks while broadly supporting the hypotheses proposed here, particularly those relating to major concessions and independence. Explaining minor concessions posed more of a challenge, until accounting for cross-national variations in state propensity to offer concessions ("thresholds of conciliation"). The Irish and Quebecois movements also indicate that violence typically does not impede government conciliation, and in fact tends to increase its likelihood. The implications of these findings for other social movements and for state decentralization are detailed.
