However, scant empirical evidence links democracy to terrorism, positively or negatively. This study examines whether such links exist by exploring the effects of liberalization processes on political violence in Egypt, Jordan, Bahrain, Saudi Arabia, Algeria, and Morocco from 1991 to 2006. Drawing on data on the incidence of terrorist violence, extensive fieldwork and interviews in each of the six countries, and primary and secondary literature from and about each country, Kaye et al. find that political reforms have, in some instances, helped to marginalize and undercut extremist actors, but that these effects tend to be short-lived if reforms fail to produce tangible results. Moreover, when regimes backtrack on even limited openings, the risks of instability and violence increase |

However, scant empirical evidence links democracy to terrorism, positively or negatively. This study examines whether such links exist by exploring the effects of liberalization processes on political violence in Egypt, Jordan, Bahrain, Saudi Arabia, Algeria, and Morocco from 1991 to 2006. Drawing on data on the incidence of terrorist violence, extensive fieldwork and interviews in each of the six countries, and primary and secondary literature from and about each country, Kaye et al. find that political reforms have, in some instances, helped to marginalize and undercut extremist actors, but that these effects tend to be short-lived if reforms fail to produce tangible results. Moreover, when regimes backtrack on even limited openings, the risks of instability and violence increase POLITICAL SCIENCE / Political Freedom & Security / Terrorism bisacsh POLITICAL SCIENCE / Security (National & International) bisacsh Democratization fast Political science fast Political violence fast Terrorism fast Demokratisierung Politische Wissenschaft Terrorismus Democratization Arab countries Case studies Political violence Arab countries Case studies Terrorism Arab countries Demokratisierung (DE-588)4124941-0 gnd rswk-swf Politik (DE-588)4046514-7 gnd rswk-swf Gewalt (DE-588)4020832-1 gnd rswk-swf Arabische Staaten (DE-588)4068789-2 gnd rswk-swf (DE-588)4522595-3 Fallstudiensammlung gnd-content Arabische Staaten (DE-588)4068789-2 g Demokratisierung (DE-588)4124941-0 s Gewalt (DE-588)4020832-1 s Politik (DE-588)4046514-7 s 1\p DE-604 Kaye, Dalia Dassa Sonstige oth http://search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx?direct=true&scope=site&db=nlebk&db=nlabk&AN=268369 Aggregator Volltext 1\p cgwrk 20201028 DE-101 https://d-nb.info/provenance/plan#cgwrk |
