Weakness Approach
Weakness From Within
Protest events with participants who lack substantial access to government and government officials are weaker because they lack representation and resources to fight repressive action
Weakness From Without
Protesters rely on external monitoring of the state to limit repression through actions of influential elites, thus increased media coverage tends to decrease levels of repression
States risk public embarrassment if they fail in repressive attempts , thus states should have interest in publicly repressing only those they think they can defeat
