This paper investigates the role of state capacity for political violence. Most previous studies have
suffered from inadequacies of country-level data, questionable validity of indicators or theoretical
shortcomings. This paper aims at overcoming some of these challenges. We focus on one specific

on political violence follows a non-linear, inverted-U shape. We investigate this hypothesis in the
context of southern Sudan, covering the period from 2006 to 2010. We use unique data on the
geographical distribution of public personnel across 75 southern Sudanese counties. The data are
matched with geocoded data on violent events as well as various socio-economic indicators. Our
fixed-effects estimations indicate that particularly low or high levels of state capacity are associated
with low levels of violence. Counties with intermediate numbers of state personnel experience
