Media Bias, Perspective, and State Repression: The Black Panther Party
ISBN: 9780521759700 / Angielski / Miękka / 2009 / 262 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. This book examines information reported within the media regarding the interaction between the Black Panther Party and government agents in the Bay Area of California (1967 1973). Christian Davenport argues that the geographic locale and political orientation of the newspaper influences how specific details are reported, including who starts and ends the conflict, who the Black Panthers target (government or non-government actors), and which part of the government responds (the police or court). Specifically, proximate and government-oriented sources provide one assessment of events, whereas...

State Repression and the Domestic Democratic Peace
ISBN: 9780521864909 / Angielski / Twarda / 2007 / 254 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Does democracy reduce state repression as human rights activism, funding, and policy suggest? What are the limitations of this argument? Investigating 137 countries from 1976 to 1996, State Repression and the Domestic Democratic Peace seeks to shed light on these questions. Specifically, it finds that electoral participation and competition generally reduces personal integrity violations like torture and mass killing; other aspects of democracy do not wield consistent influences. This negative influence can be overwhelmed by conflict, however, and thus there are important qualifications for...

Ethnicity is one of the most salient and enduring topics of social science, not least with regard to its potential link to political conflict/violence. Despite, or perhaps because of, the concept's significant use, all too seldom has the field paused to consider the state of our knowledge. For example, how do we define and conceive of ethnicity within the context of political conflict? What do we really know about the causal determinants of ethnic conflict? What has been the most useful development within this literature, and why? This volume comprises reflections from an...
