This volume analyzes four aspects of political violence in Southeast Asia: elections and violence; intra-ethnic conflict; communist insurgency; terrorism and religious extremism and lethal crime and politics. Together, the ten case studies on Cambodia, Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines and Thailand challenge the idea that democratic governance will bring an end to internal violent conflict. As some examples in the region suggest, semi-democratic polities in Southeast Asia even may be more successful in reducing levels of internal violence, compared to new democracies in their neighbourhood and other types of political regime they have tried in the past.

Assassinations cast a long shadow on the history of the United States. Presidents, Congressmen, governors, mayors, state legislators, judges, and other prominent public figures all have been the targets of disturbed or fanatical individuals bent on murder as an expression of their real or imagined grievances. After every such occurrence, the press and the public express shock and demand explanations, hoping that an analysis of the cause may serve to prevent future killings, or at least help to develop better means to protect potential targets in the future. "Assassination and Political Violence," a staff study done at the request of the National Commission on the Causes and Prevention of Violence, is a comprehensive study of politically motivated violence and murder form the early days of the Republic to the late 1960's. After an introductory section devoted to a structural analysis of assassination, the book briefly discusses assassinations by type of office holder, followed by more detailed reviews of attacks on Presidents and Presidential candidates. It then examines the psychology of Presidential assassins, a psychiatric view of public reactions to assassinations, and a cross-national comparative study of assassinations, accompanied by numerous charts that compare the experience of countries around the world by specific variables, such as population size and political instability. A chapter on political violence in the United States provides a detailed overview of this phenomenon, taking into account regional, economic, racial, and other factors. Included are a number of illustrations of political propaganda pieces, such as a "Wanted" poster for President John F. Kennedy labeled "Wanted for TREASON" and another, of a Defense Department official, that includes his home address. An extensive appendix provides an exhaustive list of assassination events by country and a series of supplemental essays outline the history of political violence in various countries around the world. The information provided in Assassination and Political Violence makes it an indispensable source of data and analysis on the global reach of political murder, with a special emphasis on the American scene. As such it will be of great interest to scholars, law enforcement professionals, and anyone interested in the history and impact of assassination on the body politic.

Women have made significant inroads into political life in recent years, but in many parts of the world, their increased engagement has spurred attacks, intimidation, and harassment. This book provides the first comprehensive account of this phenomenon, exploring how women came to give these experiences a name: violence against women in politics. Tracing its global emergence as a concept, Mona Lena Krook draws on insights from multiple disciplines--political science, sociology, history, gender studies, economics, linguistics, psychology, and forensic science--to develop a more robust version of this concept to support ongoing activism and inform future scholarly work. Krook argues that violence against women in politics is not simply a gendered extension of existing definitions of political violence privileging physical aggressions against rivals. Rather, it is a distinct phenomenon involving a broad range of harms to attack and undermine women as political actors, taking physical, psychological, sexual, economic, and semiotic forms. Incorporating a wide range of country examples, she illustrates what this violence looks like in practice, catalogues emerging solutions around the world, and considers how to document this phenomenon more effectively. Highlighting its implications for democracy, human rights, and gender equality, the book asserts that addressing this issue requires ongoing dialogue and collaboration to ensure women's equal rights to participate--freely and safely--in political life around the globe.

An incisive analysis of the connections between democracy and violence by acknowledged experts in the field. The connection between the two activities has often been largely ignored because of a widespread reluctance among democrats to consider the possibility that democratic forms perhaps encourage violence. This challenging volume opens up the debate.

The events of the 11th of September 2001 revealed most dramatically that globalization has a shadow. While large sections of the world’s population enjoy the perceived benefits of globalization, others seek to utilize globalization for their own politically violent purposes. If 9/11 demonstrated anything, it is that globalization can as readily facilitate violence and insecurity as it can produce stability, prosperity and political order. This edited volume offers important new methodological and multi-disciplinary insights into the study of globalization and political violence. It brings together studies from various disciplines in order to address the precise nature of the relationship between globalization and political violence as it seeks to offer new theoretical and empirical understandings of the types of actors involved in political violence, either as perpetrators or victims. Examples of the studies include the changing character of state militaries and state-to-state conflict under globalization, the emergence of ‘new wars’ fuelled by globalization, the role of state militaries in intervention, new forms of violence directed by states against refugees and anti-globalization protesters, the role of terrorist actors post-9/11, networks for the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction and the rise of private military firms amongst others. The Globalization of Political Violence will be of interest to students and researchers of politics, international relations, security studies and international political economy.
