Human Rights on the March
This research examines the impact of human rights protests on human rights abuses in seven Latin American countries—Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Guatemala, Mexico, Nicaragua, and Venezuela. I find that protests focused broadly on human rights are associated with significant declines in human rights abuses, controlling for important factors from previous studies. Furthermore, I argue that it is important to distinguish political repression (abuses th…
Persistent Challengers
One of the most perplexing issues in contentious politics is whether political repression deters future contentious challenges. In order to understand this effect, it is important to look more broadly at what explains the persistence of contentious challengers. This study examines specific contentious challenges and assesses whether the challenger involved persisted by taking part in any subsequent challenges over the following twelve months. The…
Human Rights Contention in Latin America
Contentious Challenges and Government Responses in Latin America
This article examines how seven Latin American governments responded to 827 contentious political challenges. The research goes beyond most previous research by considering four governmental responses: concession, repression, toleration, and the combination of concession and repression. The results show that challengers can increase their chances of winning concessions by making limited demands and utilizing nonviolent occupations and hunger stri…
Shame on You
The most commonly used weapon in the arsenal of human rights proponents is shaming the violating government through public criticism. But does this really affect the behavior of the violator? This study examines how governments that are targeted for human rights criticism respond to subsequent contentious challenges. Analyzing 873 challenges in seven Latin American countries between 1981 and 1995, it is found that human rights criticism does lead…
Political Party Opposition to Noncompetitive Regimes
Political Party Opposition to Noncompetitive Regimes
Many competitive parties have witnessed the overthrow of competitive regimes, but the activities of political parties under noncompetitive regimes have received very little scholarly attention. Several authors suggest that parties, constrained in their conventional activities, Will take part in protest or political violence (referred to here as contentious political action). I first examine the activities of 51 political parties in 24 noncompetit…
The Role of Party-Led Dissent in Redemocratization
A previous study (Franklin, 1999) shows that when competitive regimes are overthrown, political parties often take part in active resistance under the subsequent authoritarian regime. This study examines whether such party-led dissent has an impact on the redemocratization process by comparing the length of time that passed before re-establishment of democracy in 22 countries. The primary finding is that a relatively early redemocratization only …
IMF Conditionality, Threat Perception, and Political Repression
This article investigates the impact of International Monetary Fund (IMF) conditionality on political repression. Conditionality refers to the conditions that borrowing countries must implement before they can receive loans from the IMF. An original contribution is made by analyzing this impact using quantitative techniques for samples of developing countries covering 1980 through 1982. A more comprehensive model of political repression, focusing…
