Abstract
Recent research has documented that external interventions in
elections are surprisingly frequent. Thus, observers make elections
fairer, and more partisan interventions appear to affect the election
results. Few studies, however, have assessed how interventions lead to
violent actions by actors potentially considering these interventions
as unfair. Combining information on election interventions with data
on violence and taking into account the endogenous nature of election
interventions we assess how the latter affect violence by government
and opposition groups.
