  • Summary

    Chapter one explores different and overlapping studiesof repression to formulate an operational definition. It rejects the dominance of quantitative studies in the field and calls for more 'fine-grained' approaches. It concludes by defining repression as the process by which the dominant hegemonic order attempt to maintain power by destroying, rendering harmless or appeasing those organizations, people, groups, or ideologies that potentially threaten their position of power or privilege.
