The Death and Life of State Repression: Understanding Onset, Escalation, Termination, and Recurrence Davenport Christian
The Death and Life of State Repression addresses a problem that dates back at least 75 years, if not before. While useful, this work has generally ignored important aspects of the "Death/Life cycle" of state repression: i.e., its onset, escalation, termination and recurrence. Since World War II, individuals and institutions from around the world have been concerned with state repression/human rights violations and since about 1990, a robust empirical literature has emerged to investigate what drives this behavior up or down (i.e., exploring variation).
Exploring a new database of repressive spells from 1976-2006 and new theory regarding spells, The Death and Life of State Repression breaks new ground in a variety of different ways.The book Such an approach is important because different explanations and policies might be relevant for different parts of the cycle.
