Why do ethnic riots break out when and where they do? Why do some governments try to prevent ethnic riots while others do nothing or even participate in the violence? In this book, Steven I. Wilkinson uses newly collected data on Hindu-Muslim riots, socio-economic factors and competitive politics in India to test his theory that riots are fomented in order to win elections and that governments decide whether to stop them or not based on the likely electoral cost of doing so. He finds that electoral factors account for most of the state-level variation in Hindu-Muslim riots: explaining for example why riots took place in Gujarat in 2002 but not in many other states where militants tried to foment violence. The general electoral theory he develops for India is extended to Ireland, Malaysia and Romania as Wilkinson shows that similar political factors motivate ethnic violence in many different countries.

Multiparty elections have become the bellwether by which all democracies are judged, and the spread of these systems across Africa has been widely hailed as a sign of the continent's progress towards stability and prosperity. But such elections bring their own challenges, particularly the often intense internecine violence following disputed results. While the consequences of such violence can be profound, undermining the legitimacy of the democratic process and in some cases plunging countries into civil war or renewed dictatorship, little is known about the causes. By mapping, analysing and comparing instances of election violence in different localities across Africa – including Kenya, Ivory Coast and Uganda – this collection of detailed case studies sheds light on the underlying dynamics and sub-national causes behind electoral conflicts, revealing them to be the result of a complex interplay between democratisation and the older, patronage-based system of 'Big Man' politics. Essential for scholars and policymakers across the social sciences and humanities interested in democratization, peace-keeping and peace studies, Violence in African Elections provides important insights into why some communities prove more prone to electoral violence than others, offering practical suggestions for preventing violence through improved electoral monitoring, voter education, and international assistance.

Studienarbeit aus dem Jahr 2011 im Fachbereich Politik - Internationale Politik - Region: Afrika, einseitig bedruckt, Note: 1,3, Universität Mannheim (Lehrstuhl für Politische Wissenschaft II), Veranstaltung: Hauptseminar "Ethnische Konflikte in den Internationalen Beziehungen", Sprache: Deutsch, Anmerkungen: Mit 1,3 bewertete Hausarbeit zum Thema ethnische Konflikte, die den Einfluss von Parteiensystemen auf ethnische Konflikte anhand der Fallbeispiele Südafrika und Nigeria untersucht. , Abstract: "In democracies, governments will protect minorities when they rely on them directly for electoral support, or if party politics in a state is so competitive that there is a high probability that they will need to rely on minority votes or minority-supported parties in the future" (Wilkinson 2006, 118). Auf diese Weise fasst Steven Wilkinson die These zusammen, die er in Kapitel fünf seines Buches "Votes and Violence" anhand des Konflikts zwischen Hindus und Muslimen in Indien untersucht. Mit dieser Hausarbeit werde ich Wilkinsons These zum Verhalten von Regierungen bei ethnischen Unruhen auf ihre Generalisierbarkeit hin überprüfen. Für die empirische Umsetzung der Untersuchung kommt nur ein qualitativer Ansatz in Frage: Zunächst sind etwaige Fälle daraufhin zu untersuchen, ob sie überhaupt für eine Untersuchung geeignet sind (Demokratielevel, Gewalt gegen Minderheiten etc.), um dann in einem zweiten Schritt die Gegebenheit der relativ restriktiv formulierten Bedingungen Wilkinsons für den Schutz von Minderheiten zu untersuchen und schließlich in einem dritten Schritt das nötige Detailwissen für eine Bewertung der Fälle zu sammeln. Anhand von Südafrika - den Ausschreitungen gegen Migranten 2008 - und Nigeria - den Unruhen zwischen Christen und Muslimen in Plateau State 2001 und 2008 - werde ich die Stärken und Schwächen des Ansatzes darzulegen versuchen und auch die Grenzen seiner Erklärungskraft aufzeigen. Zu diesem Zweck widme ich mich im ersten Abschnitt dieser Arbeit der Theorie Wilkinsons und setze diese in Bezug zu den Arbeiten von Horowitz. Im empirischen Abschnitt analysiere ich die Fälle Südafrika und Nigeria aus der "electoral incentives" Perspektive und fasse im Fazit die gewonnenen Erkenntnisse noch einmal zusammen.

The world is in a mess. For more than a billion people, everyday life is played out against the backdrop of civil wars, military coups and failing economies. For them, the peaceful democracy taken for granted in the West seems an impossible pipe-dream. But solutions do exist - it is up to us to achieve them. Award-winning academic Paul Collier's vision for the future of the developing world is eye-opening, provocative and refreshingly unequivocal.

Nine contributors offer pioneering work on the scope and nature of electoral violence in Africa; investigate the forms electoral violence takes; and analyze the factors that precipitate, reduce, and prevent violence. The book breaks new ground with findings from the only known dataset of electoral violence in sub-Saharan Africa, spanning 1990 to 2008. Specific case studies of electoral violence in countries such as Ghana, Kenya, and Nigeria provide the context to further understanding the circumstances under which electoral violence takes place, recedes, or recurs.

From Afghanistan to Zimbabwe the world has witnessed a rising tide of contentious elections ending in heated partisan debates, court challenges, street protests, and legitimacy challenges. In some cases, disputes have been settled peacefully through legal appeals and electoral reforms. In the worst cases, however, disputes have triggered bloodshed or government downfalls and military coups. Contentious elections are characterized by major challenges, with different degrees of severity, to the legitimacy of electoral actors, procedures, or outcomes. Despite growing concern, until recently little research has studied this phenomenon. The theory unfolded in this volume suggests that problems of electoral malpractice erode confidence in electoral authorities, spur peaceful protests demonstrating against the outcome, and, in the most severe cases, lead to outbreaks of conflict and violence. Understanding this process is of vital concern for domestic reformers and the international community, as well as attracting a growing new research agenda. The editors, from the Electoral Integrity Project, bring together scholars considering a range of fresh evidence– analyzing public opinion surveys of confidence in elections and voter turnout within specific countries, as well as expert perceptions of the existence of peaceful electoral demonstrations, and survey and aggregate data monitoring outbreaks of electoral violence. The book provides insights invaluable for studies in democracy and democratization, comparative politics, comparative elections, peace and conflict studies, comparative sociology, international development, comparative public opinion, political behavior, political institutions, and public policy.
