State Repression and the Domestic Democratic Peace - Christian Davenport Cambridge University Press, Forthcoming. | ||
|
| "State Repression and the Democratic Peace is that rare book that compels the reader to adopt a significantly transformed way to think about democracy's warts as well as its many virtures. Christian Davenport has done a masterful job of exploring and explaining the conditions under which democratic governments resort to repressive and coercive policies. (The) book is a tour de force, a must-read for anyone who wants to understand the underside of democracy" —Bruce Bueno de Mesquita, New York University " This is a carefully nuanced comparative examination of how democratic institutions do and don't effectively constrain state repression under conditions of domestic and international threat. It is relevant to both new and long-established democracies" —Bruce Russett, Yale University "Drawing on, synthesizing and extending insights from comparative politics and international relations, political institutions, and conflict studies, Davenport provides one of the most important studies of state repression yet written. A must-read for those interested in political repression, state-sponsored violence, and the future of liberalism" —Allan Stam, Dartmouth College "Davenport's State Repression and the Domestic Democatic Peace is a masterful, systematic, and sobering analysis of how contemporary states - often unsucessfully - must tread a thin line between protecting and repressing political freedoms" —Michael Ward, University of Washington |

| Paths
to State Repression: Human Rights Violations and Contentious Politics - Christian Davenport, editor.
Roman and Littlefield, 2000. | ||
|
Read a review in the American Political Science Review, 2000 | "A treasure-trove of articles.... Most repression research of the future will undoubtedly cite Paths to State Repression."—American Political Science Review "All students of repression and dissent owe a debt to Christian Davenport and his collaborators, not only for assembling important evidence about how repression and dissent work in today's world, but also for looking hard at the way one incites the other--as well as thinking through conditions and interventions that might reverse vicious cycles of mutual destruction."—Charles Tilly, Columbia University "The contributors to this timely volume tell us a lot about how democracy and human rights, on the one hand, and state repression and political coercion, on the other, influence social movements and political conflict. These original essays will be widely read and appreciated."—Mark I. Lichbach, University of California, Riverside |
