Government Mass Killing and Post-Conflict Domestic Trials / Kim, Nam Kyu; Uzonyi, Gary   Journal Article
Uzonyi, Gary Journal Article
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Summary/Abstract Why do some countries implement trials to punish perpetrators of state-sponsored mass killing during civil war? A common explanation is that domestic and international demand for justice pressures the government to implement trials. However, this demand is unlikely to produce prosecutions because state-sponsored violence during fighting provides elites incentive to conceal information after war. The revelation of information concerning the government's atrocities could result in renewed domestic instability or international sanction. Therefore, a government that has committed atrocities during the civil war, and emerges victorious from the conflict, should be unlikely to pursue trials in the aftermath of the war.

V for Vendetta : government mass killing and domestic terrorism / Uzonyi, Gary; Avdan, Nazli   Journal Article
Uzonyi, Gary Journal Article
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Summary/Abstract Scholarship explores the impact of human rights abuse and state repression on terrorism. Heretofore, scholarship has ignored the impact of government-sponsored killings on domestic terrorism. This article proposes that mass killings create a focal point for terrorist mobilization. The vendetta agenda fuels violence by animating retributory violence. Additionally, mass atrocities create a permissive environment for violent nonstate activity. A spiral of violence ensues whereby groups resort to terrorism. Utilizing data from the Global Terrorism Database, 1971–2011, the study shows that mass killings significantly increase domestic terrorism. It contributes to emerging scholarship examining how state policies influence terrorist activity.
