Can terrorism and state violence cause democratic breakdown? Although the origins of violence have been studied, only rarely are its consequences examined. In this detailed comparative study of Uruguay, Spain, and Peru, Holmes claims that to understand the consequences of violence on democratic stability, terrorism and state responses to terrorism must be studied together. This extensively revised and expanded second edition takes advantage of new historical sources, an extended time span, and new theories that have emerged since the original publication. In addition to adding new data sources in the Peruvian and Spanish cases, the time period covered has been expanded from the late 1990s to early 2007, allowing a more comprehensive treatment of the consequences of state and non-state violence on democratic stability and the prospects for stability. The literature reviews have been significantly revised and updated and an entirely new chapter covers the special case of Spain, which faces both a domestic and an international threat.

This detailed empirical study examines the effect of terrorism and state repression on democratic stability in Uruguay, Peru, and Spain. In 1973 the Uruguay military closed the national assembly and instituted 10 years of authoritarian rule. In spite of 70 years of democracy, however, Uruguayans did not protest against the downfall of democracy. In 1992 Alberto Fujimori dissolved the Peruvian congress and judiciary; 80 percent of Peruvians approved of his self-coup. In Spain, the troubled democracy survived an attempted coup in 1981. Large demonstrations broke out in major cities in favor of democracy, as three out of four Spaniards rejected the coup and almost half said they would act to defend democracy. Why did Uruguayans and Peruvians withhold support for their democracies? Why did the Spaniards defend theirs? This study provides a new approach to citizen support to examine the consequences of terrorism and repression on democratic stability.
