Paths to State Repression

Human Rights Violations and Contentious Politics

Edited by Christian Davenport - Contributions by George Aditjondro; Christian Davenport; Ronald Francisco; Linda Camp Keith; John C. King; David Kowalewski; Drew Noble Lanier; Chris Lee; Kathleen A. Mahoney-Norris; Sandra Maline; Susan McMillan; Will Moore; Steven Peterson; Steven C. Poe; Karen Rasler; James Scarritt and C Neal Tate

In the last ten years, there has been a resurgence of interest in repression and violence within states. Paths to State Repression improves our understanding of why states use political repression, highlighting its relationship to dissent and mass protest. The authors draw upon a wide variety of political-economic contexts, methodological approaches, and geographic locales, including Cuba, Nicaragua, Peru, Sri Lanka, Indonesia, Israel, Eastern Europe, and Africa. This book is invaluable to all who wish to better understand why central authorities violate and restrict human rights and how states can break their cycles of conflict.

— Charles Tilly, Joseph L. Buttenwieser Professor of Social Science, Columbia University


A treasure-trove of articles.... Most repression research of the future will undoubtedly cite Paths to State Repression.

— American Political Science Review


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.
