Abstract: This work investigates the variation of repression and violations of civil liberties within democracies. I find that even withindemocracies when domestic threats are present, the civil liberties of citizens hang tenuously in the balance. |

"Give Me Liberty or Give Me (Occupational) Death: Organizational Dissent and Workplace Freedom of Speech" Paper presented at the annual meeting of the International Communication Association, TBA, San Francisco, CA, May 23, 2007 Online <PDF>. 2009-11-27 <http://www.allacademic.com/meta/p172244_index.html>Publication Type: Conference Paper/Unpublished Manuscript
Abstract: This study examined the relationship between employees’ perceptions of workplace freedom of speech and the messages they use to express organizational dissent. Workplace freedom of speech has been linked to organizational effectiveness, employee satisfaction, employee commitment, and a variety of other positive effects, as employees feel free to express disagreement without fear of organizational sanctions. This study links workplace freedom of speech with specific organizational dissent message types. Results showed that workers who reported less workplace freedom of speech were more likely to use messages of humor, upward appeals, and coalitions. That is, dissenters perceiving less freedom were more likely to couch their dissent as offhanded remarks that could later be labeled jokes, more likely to circumvent a supervisor to express the dissent to someone higher in the organization, and more likely to attempt to build shared understanding and support among others. |

Reconsidering the Relationship between Democracy and State-Sponsored Mass Murder" Paper presented at the annual meeting of the International Studies Association, Hilton Hawaiian Village, Honolulu, Hawaii, Mar 05, 2005 <Not Available>. 2009-11-27 <http://www.allacademic.com/meta/p72006_index.html>Publication Type: Conference Paper/Unpublished Manuscript
Review Method: Peer Reviewed
Abstract: This paper delves further into the relationship between regime type and state-sponsored mass murder. I disaggregate regimes into theoretically relevant component elements and, revisiting the analyses of the State Failures Task Force published by Harff (2003), I examine which if any institutional or procedural components of democracy negatively affect the likelihood of the state using lethal force to eliminate an entire domestic communal or political group. The results confirm some of R. J. Rummel's findings regarding democracy and the lethal state, but are unable to help explain how and why democracies decrease the likelihood of genocide or politicide. |
