Utilizing the CASM-China database and analyzing 2454 socio-ecological indicators, we scrutinize the incidence of conventional, disruptive, and violent collective actions, alongside 11 manually coded triggers. Furthermore, employing panel data spanning from 2010 to 2016 enhances the robustness of our predictor selection, while a principal component analysis reveals a four\u2013factor structure. Significantly, the <jats:italic>Modernization<\/jats:italic> dimension (factor 1) predicts both conventional and violent collective actions, correlating with issues such as \u201c<jats:italic>education<\/jats:italic>\u201d and \u201c<jats:italic>homeowner\/property<\/jats:italic>\u201d. The <jats:italic>Secondary and Tertiary Industries<\/jats:italic> dimension (factor 2) forecasts disruptive collective action, associated with \u201c<jats:italic>pension\/welfare<\/jats:italic>\u201d problems. In contrast, the <jats:italic>Primary Industry<\/jats:italic> dimension (factor 3) shows a negative correlation with violent and disruptive collective actions, particularly affecting \u201c<jats:italic>medical dispute<\/jats:italic>\u201d issues. The <jats:italic>Living Condition<\/jats:italic> dimension (factor 4) positively correlates with conventional collective action with various social issues. These findings deepen our comprehension of the intricate interplay between socio-cultural and ecological factors and collective action in China, offering new pathways for future research.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1007\/s44230-024-00079-x","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,8,5]],"date-time":"2024-08-05T13:02:51Z","timestamp":1722862971000},"page":"382-393","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1007\/springer_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["Deciphering the Socio-Ecological Determinants of Contemporary Collective Action in China: Insights from 2010\u20132016 Panel Data Analysis"],"prefix":"10.1007","volume":"4","author":[{"given":"Yiwen","family":"Ma","sequence":"first","affiliation":[]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-3863-3992","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Hao","family":"Chen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[]}],"member":"297","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,8,5]]},"reference":[{"key":"79_CR1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1080\/14742837.2003.10035370","author":"D McAdam","year":"2003","unstructured":"McAdam D, Tarrow S, Tilly C.
