Introduction: Socio Political Instability - Defined as “the likelihood that a government will be overthrown by unconstitutional or violent means, including social unrest, violence, hostility, or terrorism." Global protests and demonstrations have increased 244% in the last decades. Better understanding of the drivers and motivations behind this increasing instability may help inform preventative or de-escalation measures. Identifying measurable indicators and drivers of sociopolitical unrest is the first step in accomplishing this task and may aid with event forecasting through modeling.
