Summary:

Throughout their history, political elections have been threatened by conflict, and the use of force has in the past several decades been an integral part of electoral processes in a significant number of contemporary states. Drawing on cross-national data sets together with fourteen detailed case studies from around the world, 'Electoral Violence, Corruption, and Political Order' offers a global comparative analysis of violent electoral practices since the Second World War.
