Definition

  • Political protest refers to various means of influencing the political process that typically fall outside of the more traditional means such as voting for elected officials and running for office. These actions do not always involve fringe groups or individuals and can emerge instead from within the establishment. [Source: Encyclopedia of Political Communication; Protests, Political]
