3.5% rule
The 3.5% rule is a concept in political science that states that when 3.5% of the population of a country protest nonviolently against an authoritarian government, that government is likely to fall from power. The rule was formulated by Erica Chenoweth in 2013. It arose out of insights originally published by political scientist Mark Lichbach in 1995 in his book The Rebel's Dilemma: Economics, Cognition, and Society. Other scholars have criticized the dataset used to construct these findings for being too narrow in scope, though that dataset has been expanded since the rule's original formulation.
