Export instability and political violence in underdeveloped countriesMoul, William Brian January 1971 (has links)
There have been few attempts to empirically delineate
and assess the importance of "external" or "international"
factors in the study of comparative politics and political
development. The purpose of this thesis is to examine an
"international-national linkage" which has been the subject of
Considerable speculation butressed with anecdotal evidence.
The linkage is between the short term instability of export
proceeds of underdeveloped countries and the amount of political violence with in these countries. The independent variables
are export instability, export losses, export instability impact,
and the impact of export losses.
In the first section of the thesis, the external nature
of export instability is discussed. Export instability is not
always induced externally. The evidence linking export in stability to domestic economic disturbances and economic disturbances
to political violence is presented and discussed in the
next section. Domestic economic disturbance is an unmeasured
intervening variable in this study.
There are many methods of computing the instability
of export proceeds. Percentage deviations from annual trend
values are used in this thesis, with the trend values computed
using five year moving averages. The data sources and various
measures of political violence available are assessed in terms
of validity and reliability. A composite index of "the total
magnitude of civil strife," developed by Gurr and Ruttenberg,
is used to measure the amount of political violence. The results of across-sectional correlation analysis
for a sample of forty-seven underdeveloped countries indicate
zero relationships between the four independent variables and
political violence.
A lack of covariation within the total sample may
obscure significant correlations of opposite sign within specified subsamples. Accordingly, the sample is subdivided into
three relatively homogeneous socio-economic regions and four
political system types. The extent and direction of the relationships does vary according to region and type of political
system. The variation is not large. / Arts, Faculty of / Political Science, Department of / Graduate

Internal crises, external dependence, and democratic stability and instability in the developing world: A comparative study of Brazil and India.Kabir, Bhuian Md. Monoar. January 1995 (has links)
This dissertation explains the reasons for democratic stability and breakdown in two industrially advanced developing countries, India and Brazil. Arguments of this dissertation have been derived from econo-military dependency, economic development, and civil-military relations perspectives. None of the existing explanations for stability of the Indian democracy and the 1964 breakdown of the Brazilian democracy has made any conscious attempt to combine both internal and external variables. Modifying the existing mono-causal explanations, this dissertation argues that a combination of such variables as econo-military dependence on the United States, aid dependence on the United States and multilateral financial institutions, role of the military and the counter-hegemonic forces account for most of the variations between the two cases.
