International dependence, basic needs provision, inequality and political violence: A cross-national analysis

Download pdf | Full Screen View

Date Issued:
1990
Summary:
A cross-national study examining both intra-and international determinants of collective political violence within nations was conducted in an effort to replicate and extend previous findings: that international factors indirectly (and directly) increase political violence through their effects on income inequality. The robustness of these findings was tested in a panel regression analysis by examining model respecifications and including new variables. The international variables tested indirectly affected political violence through income inequality. Earlier findings of a direct effect of income inequality on political violence were replicated and extended to an intra/international model of domestic political violence.
