This course provides a survey of quantitative research on human rights and repression around the world. We will examine what factors influence the occurrence and degree of government-perpetrated repression in its various forms, and the effectiveness of tactics civilians use to counter human rights violations. We will also consider the role of the international community on influencing domestic processes of human rights protection via the diffusion of norms and the threatened or actual use of intervention strategies by third parties.
