Most believe that a 'domestic democratic peace' exists, rivalling that found in the realm of interstate conflict. Investigating 137 countries from 1976 to 1996, this book seeks to shed light on this question. Specifically, three results emerge. First, while different aspects of democracy decrease repressive behaviour, not all do so to the same degree. Human rights violations are especially responsive to electoral participation and competition. Second, while different types of repression are reduced, not all are limited at comparable levels. Personal integrity violations are decreased more than civil liberties restrictions. Third, the domestic democratic peace is not bulletproof; the negative influence of democracy on repression can be overwhelmed by political conflict. This research alters our conception of repression, its analysis and its resolution. 410 0$aCambridge studies in comparative politics. 517 3 $aState Repression & the Domestic Democratic Peace 606 $aPolitical persecution 606 $aDemocracy 615 0$aPolitical persecution. 615 0$aDemocracy. 676 $a323.4/9 700 $aDavenport$b Christian$f1965-$0969452 801 0$bUkCbUP 801 1$bUkCbUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910457836703321 996 $aState repression and the domestic democratic peace$92465911 997 $aUNINA
