| Zusammenfassung: | Some of the most brutal and long-lasting civil wars of our time involve the rapid formation and disintegration of alliances among warring groups, as well as fractionalization within them. It would be natural to suppose that warring groups form alliances based on shared identity considerations - such as Christian groups allying with Christian groups - but this is not what we see. Two groups that identify themselves as bitter foes one day, on the basis of some identity narrative, might be allies the next day and vice versa. Nor is any group, however homogeneous, safe from internal fractionalization. Rather, looking closely at the civil wars in Afghanistan and Bosnia and testing against the broader universe of fifty-three cases of multiparty civil wars, Fotini Christia finds that the relative power distribution between and within various warring groups is the primary driving force behind alliance formation, alliance changes, group splits and internal group takeovers |

Quantitative testing on the universe of cases of multi-party civil wars Some of the most brutal and long-lasting civil wars of our time involve the rapid formation and disintegration of alliances among warring groups, as well as fractionalization within them. It would be natural to suppose that warring groups form alliances based on shared identity considerations - such as Christian groups allying with Christian groups - but this is not what we see. Two groups that identify themselves as bitter foes one day, on the basis of some identity narrative, might be allies the next day and vice versa. Nor is any group, however homogeneous, safe from internal fractionalization. Rather, looking closely at the civil wars in Afghanistan and Bosnia and testing against the broader universe of fifty-three cases of multiparty civil wars, Fotini Christia finds that the relative power distribution between and within various warring groups is the primary driving force behind alliance formation, alliance changes, group splits and internal group takeovers Geschichte 1941-1995 gnd rswk-swf Geschichte 1978-1998 gnd rswk-swf Civil war Alliances Civil war / Case studies Alliances / Case studies Bürgerkrieg (DE-588)4008784-0 gnd rswk-swf Bündnis (DE-588)4069715-0 gnd rswk-swf Afghanistan-Konflikt 1979-1989 (DE-588)4141580-2 gnd rswk-swf Gleichgewichtspolitik (DE-588)4157518-0 gnd rswk-swf Bosnien (DE-588)4007826-7 gnd rswk-swf Afghanistan (DE-588)4000687-6 gnd rswk-swf (DE-588)4522595-3 Fallstudiensammlung gnd-content Afghanistan-Konflikt 1979-1989 (DE-588)4141580-2 s Afghanistan (DE-588)4000687-6 g Bürgerkrieg (DE-588)4008784-0 s Bündnis (DE-588)4069715-0 s Geschichte 1978-1998 z 1\p DE-604 Bosnien (DE-588)4007826-7 g Geschichte 1941-1995 z 2\p DE-604 Gleichgewichtspolitik (DE-588)4157518-0 s 3\p DE-604 Erscheint auch als Druckausgabe 978-1-107-02302-4 Erscheint auch als Druckausgabe 978-1-107-68348-8 https://doi.org/10.1017/CBO9781139149426 Verlag URL des Erstveröffentlichers Volltext 1\p cgwrk 20201028 DE-101 https://d-nb.info/provenance/plan#cgwrk 2\p cgwrk 20201028 DE-101 https://d-nb.info/provenance/plan#cgwrk 3\p cgwrk 20201028 DE-101 https://d-nb.info/provenance/plan#cgwrk |
