What explains violence against civilians in civil wars? Why do
groups kill civilians in areas where they have full military
control and their rivals have no military presence? This innovative
book connects pre-war politics to patterns of violence during civil
war. It argues that both local political rivalry and local revenge
account for violence against civilians. Armed groups perpetrate
direct violence jointly with local civilians, who collaborate when
violence can help them gain or consolidate local political control.
As civil war continues, revenge motives also come into play,
leading to spirals of violence at a local level. In an important
contribution to the study of the Spanish Civil War, Balcells
combines statistical analyses with ethnographic and qualitative
research to provide new insights to scholars and academic
researchers with an interest in civil war, politics and conflict
processes. Rivalry and Revenge is theoretically and empirically
rich, and it offers a theory and method generalizable to a wide set
of cases.
