This sequel to Randall Collins' world-influential micro-sociology
of violence introduces the question of time-dynamics: what
determines how long conflict lasts and how much damage it does.
Inequality and hostility are not enough to explain when and where
violence breaks out. Time-dynamics are the time-bubbles when people
are most nationalistic; the hours after a protest starts when
violence is most likely to happen. Ranging from the three months of
nationalism and hysteria after 9/11 to the assault on the Capitol
in 2021, Randall Collins shows what makes some protests more
violent than others and why some revolutions are swift and
non-violent tipping-points while others devolve into lengthy civil
wars. Winning or losing are emotional processes, continuing in the
era of computerized war, while high-tech spawns terrorist tactics
of hiding in the civilian population and using cheap features of
the Internet as substitutes for military organization.
Nevertheless, Explosive Conflict offers some optimistic discoveries
on clues to mass rampages and heading off police atrocities, with
practical lessons from time-dynamics of violence.
