Abstract: The past few decades have witnessed an increase in political participation across the world, as people have strived to achieve principles of liberty and equality through democracy. These movements are often met with firm opposition from authoritative regimes and democratically elected governments that turn authoritarian through their actions and policies. This leads to the disillusionment of communities from mainstream political structures and narratives and prompts them to use disruptive techniques through contentious politics in an attempt to achieve changes in public policy or institutions. This paper has examined the development of contentious politics and concluded that it is a result of state failure and that radical means of protest arise because the means to achieve structural change are unavailable to marginalized groups. Government responses to contentious politics have also been examined, with a focus on the unfair use of state machinery by authoritative actors to quash dissent, in actions that are tantamount to the abuse of human rights, and is often accompanied by the failure of systems of checks and balances, if they exist. Antagonization of contentious movements by the government pushes them to adopt more extreme and radical means, including violence. However, it has been found that productive engagement between contentious movements and the government brings the movement to the mainstream and allows it to occupy spaces in political discourse and influence social change, which is often directed towards achieving aspirations of equality and social justice.
