DESCRIPTION:Demand for Repression during the Algerian War of Independence b
 y Jean Lachapelle\n\nArts 160\n\nABSTRACT:\n\nWhat explains patterns of st
 ate repression during civil wars? To address this question\, this paper an
 alyzes novel data on rebel attacks and security operations during Algeria’
 s War of Independence from France. The data were constructed from 15\,000 
 pages of declassified intelligence documents collected from France’s natio
 nal archives\, providing a uniquely fine-grained picture of violence in Al
 geria over time and across this territory. I find that rebel attacks targe
 ting communes with a larger concentration of Euro-Algerians\, i.e.\, indiv
 iduals of European descent born in Algeria\, elicited more violent respons
 es from the French armed forces than similar attacks that targeted predomi
 nantly indigenous Algerian communities. These differences are not well acc
 ounted for by variations in state capacity or geography. To explain these 
 results\, I develop a new theory of bottom-up demand for repression. I arg
 ue that French forces were responsive to pressures by Euro-Algerian civili
 ans who demanded punishment of and protection from rebel attacks against t
 heir communities\, and that these civilians’ mobilization for repression h
 elps account for variations in coercive responses. This paper contributes 
 to literatures on colonial rule\, state repression\, and conflict more bro
 adly by unpacking the processes through which civilians shape repression b
 y armed actors.\n\nBIOGRAPHY:\n	Jean Lachapelle is an Assistant Professor a
 t the Université de Montréal's Department of Political Science. His resear
 ch examines the causes and consequences of state violence in authoritarian
  regimes. His current book project theorizes the link between repression a
 nd autocratic survival\, based on in-depth fieldwork in Egypt. More broadl
 y\, he is interested in issues of military coups\, revolution\, and the re
 lationship between violence and political order\, with a regional focus on
  the Middle East and North Africa. His work has been published in PS: Poli
 tical Science and Politics\, Journal of Democracy\, International Politica
 l Science Review\, Comparative Politics\, Social Science and Medicine\, De
