Investigating 137 nations from 1976 to 1996, nation Repression and the family Democratic Peace seeks to make clear those questions. in particular, it reveals that electoral participation and festival normally reduces own integrity violations like torture and mass killing; different elements of democracy don't wield constant impacts. This adverse impression may be crushed via clash, even if, and therefore there are very important skills for the peace proposition.

Given these results, I conclude that, of the diverse arguments outlined previously, Political Intregrity is supported in Competition/Participation. And while Conflict Scale is partially supported in the context of Executive Constraints and Veto Players, the inconsistent findings across analyses lead me to be somewhat skeptical about drawing any conclusions.
Finally, there are situations where opinion is split in a different manner. For example, within what I label Political Integrity, democratic authorities limit repressive behavior during periods of violent dissent and international conflict because these forms of contention yield the greatest amount of dissension regarding the treatment of citizens but within periods of civil war, where the greatest amount of consensus exists, repressive behavior is likely increased. 1 lists the different alternatives.
