More about the book
The book explores the relationship between democracy and state repression, analyzing data from 137 countries between 1976 and 1996. It reveals that while certain democratic elements, like electoral participation, significantly reduce human rights violations, the impact varies across different types of repression. Personal integrity violations see greater decreases compared to civil liberties restrictions. Additionally, the findings suggest that democracy's positive effects on repression can be undermined by political conflict, challenging existing perceptions of democratic peace and repression dynamics.
