Zusammenfassung

In recent years, the empirical study of political violence within internal wars has experienced a profound change, shifting from macro designs to examinations with micro level foundations. This trend manifests itself in the increased use of surveys and data that is spatially and temporally highly disaggregated and that is helpful in overcoming the aggregation bias of traditional quantitative studies. This new empirical perspective has contributed to the proliferation of new insights on, for instance, the relationship between inequality and political instability. This active research field faces nevertheless a number of challenges, which manifest themselves for example, in a limited external validity, or by lacking convincing causal and the lack of convincing causal mechanisms for many empirically established relationships. It is only in this way that the new wave of micro-level studies will be able to incorporate these diverse finding into general theories of conflict and to affect the general debates in peace and conflict research.

Abstract

In recent years, the empirical study of political violence within internal wars has experienced a profound change, shifting from macro designs to examinations with micro level foundations. This trend manifests itself in the increased use of surveys and data that is spatially and temporally highly disaggregated and that is helpful in overcoming the aggregation bias of traditional quantitative studies. This new empirical perspective has contributed to the proliferation of new insights on, for instance, the relationship between inequality and political instability. This active research field faces nevertheless a number of challenges, which manifest themselves for example, in a limited external validity, or by lacking convincing causal and the lack of convincing causal mechanisms for many empirically established relationships. It is only in this way that the new wave of micro-level studies will be able to incorporate these diverse finding into general theories of conflict and to affect the general debates in peace and conflict research.
