Competitive elections, the sine qua non of democratic government, often gives rise to serious bouts of political violence: mob riots, inter-party fighting, and internal wars. The essays collected in this volume evaluate the relationship between terrorist activity and electoral politics. Do democratic elections themselves undermine the development and stability of the democratic institutions the United States and its allies seek to promote? Under what conditions are democratic elections effective at bringing terrorist organizations into the political process, thereby quelling violence? When and how might terrorist organizations use democratic elections to foment violence?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis book was published as a special issue of \u003cem\u003eTerrorism and Political Violence\u003c\/em\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Mary Beth Altier\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0415705657\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780415705653\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/22\/2013\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 168\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.05lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.80h x 7.00w x 0.60d","brand":"Mary Beth Altier","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48112897523967,"sku":"9780415705653","price":120.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_87dff5ce-9a7b-433c-b744-ad96f66ca963.jpg?v=1769611681","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/violence-elections-and-party-politics-mary-beth-altier-9780415705653","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
