Abstract

Wie schätzen die Menschen in Deutschland die Legitimität und Effektivität verschiedener Formen des politischen Protests ein? Wie stehen sie zu Aktionsformen wie Petitionen, Demonstrationen, Straßenblockaden, Hassbotschaften im Internet oder dem Bewerfen von Kunstwerken mit Lebensmitteln? Diese Fragen beantworten wir in diesem Kapitel anhand originärer Umfragedaten aus dem Jahr 2023. Zunächst identifizieren wir eine immer striktere Trennung zwischen konventionellen und unkonventionellen Protestformen: Die Menschen in Deutschland unterscheiden immer deutlicher zwischen Aktionen, die als legitim und effektiv gelten, und solchen, die als illegitim und ineffektiv eingestuft werden. Darauf aufbauend analysieren wir im zweiten Schritt, inwiefern Vertrauen in staatliche Institutionen und die Mitgliedschaft in politischen Vereinigungen Unterschiede in der Bewertung der Legitimität und Effektivität verschiedener Protestformen erklären können. Es zeigt sich unter anderem, dass Misstrauen in die Polizei zu einer höheren Zustimmung zu unkonventionellen, disruptiveren Protestformen führt. Außerdem bewerten Mitglieder politischer Vereinigungen Proteste insgesamt positiver. Die Studie leistet damit einen Beitrag zur Literatur über politisches Verhalten und öffentliche Meinung und beleuchtet die Faktoren, die die Bewertung von legitimem politischen Handeln in Deutschland beeinflussen. Durch die Untersuchung eines breiten Spektrums an Protestformen wird ein umfassendes Verständnis des Themas geschaffen, das eine Grundlage für politische Entscheidungen und die öffentliche Debatte über die Rolle der Bürger*innen bei der Mitgestaltung der Demokratie bieten kann.
