Deterring Threats and Settling Scores: How Coups Influence Respect for Physical Integrity Rights

Daniel Arnon is an Assistant Professor in the School of Government and Public Policy at the University of Arizona and co-Executive Director of the Political Terror Scale (PTS). His research examines human rights, repression, and conflict: why states and non-state actors resort to violence, how the public perceives and responds to it, and how it is measured. He works at the intersection of conflict studies, human rights measurement, and the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, drawing on experiments, observational data, geographic data, and archival research.
