In 2010 protests erupted across the Arab world with protesters demanding a better economic future, an end to government corruption, and most of all democracy. But what really is the impact of protest and riots on establishing democracy?

This video is part of our school series 'Representation, Protest and Political Movement’, which looks at the intersection of economics, politics and history and the effect on modern society. It is based on the published research Peaceful and Violent Origins of Voting Rights: A Political Economy Analysis of the Great Reform Act of 1832 (Toke S Aidt, Raphaël Franck)

The project is a partnership between Discover Economics, the ESRC CAGE Research Centre and the All-Ireland Centre of Excellence in Economics, History and Policy (CEPH).

The Economics Network and Discover Economics are thrilled to announce the launch of a new tool that enables prospective students to browse economics courses across UK universities. Whether you are interested in a single honours course or studying economics with another discipline, you can search this interactive tool and find courses by location and/or entry requirements, including UCAS tariff and maths requirements.
