This book argues that political and economic inequalities following
group lines generate grievances that in turn can motivate civil
war. Larks-Erik Cederman, Kristian Skrede Gleditsch, and Halvard
Buhaug offer a theoretical approach that highlights
ethnonationalism and how the relationship between group identities
and inequalities are fundamental for successful mobilization to
resort to violence. Although previous research highlighted
grievances as a key motivation for political violence, contemporary
research on civil war has largely dismissed grievances as
irrelevant, emphasizing instead the role of opportunities. This
book shows that the alleged non-results for grievances in previous
research stemmed primarily from atheoretical measures, typically
based on individual data. The authors develop new indicators of
political and economic exclusion at the group level, and show that
these exert strong effects on the risk of civil war. They provide
new analyses of the effects of transnational ethnic links and the
duration of civil wars, and extended case discussions illustrating
causal mechanisms.
