Political parties are integral to democracy and yet they frequently
engage in anti-democratic, violent behaviour. Parties can employ
violence directly, outsource violence to gangs and militias, or
form electoral alliances with non-state armed actors. When do
parties engage in, or facilitate, violence? What determines the
strategies of violence that they employ? Drawing on data from
Pakistan, Under the Gun argues that party violence is not a simple
manifestation of weak state capacity but instead the intentional
product of political incentives, further complicating the process
of democratization. Using a rigorous multi-method approach based on
over a hundred interviews and numerous surveys, the book
demonstrates that a party's violence strategy depends on the
incentives it faces in the subnational political landscape in which
it operates, the cost it incurs from its voters for violent acts,
and its organizational capacity for violence.
