Although major wars between sovereign states have become rare, contemporary world politics has been rife with internal conflict, ethnic cleansing, and violence against civilians. This book asks how, why, and when states and non-state actors use violence against one another, and examines the effectiveness of various forms of political violence. In the process of addressing these issues, the essays make two conceptual moves that illustrate the need to reconsider the way violence by states and non-state actors has typically been studied and understood. The first is to think of violence not as dichotomous, as either present or absent, but to consider the wide range of nonviolent and violent options available and ask why actors come to embrace particular strategies. The second is to explore the dynamic nature of violent conflicts, developing explanations that can account for the eruption of violence at particular moments in time. The arguments focus on how changes in the balance of power between and among states and non-state actors generate uncertainty and threat, thereby creating an environment conducive to violence. This innovative way of understanding violence deemphasizes the role of ethnic cleavages and nationalism in modern conflict."--Provided by publisher. 410 0$aBelfer Center studies in international security. 606 $aConflict management 606 $aEthnic conflict$xPrevention 606 $aPolitical violence$xPrevention 606 $aForced migration 606 $aWar$xMoral and ethical aspects 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aConflict management. 615 0$aEthnic conflict$xPrevention. 615 0$aPolitical violence$xPrevention. 615 0$aForced migration. 615 0$aWar$xMoral and ethical aspects. 676 $a303.6 701 $aChenoweth$b Erica$f1980-$0786607 701 $aLawrence$b Adria$f1973-$01052584 712 02$aBelfer Center for Science and International Affairs. 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910458449703321 996 $aRethinking violence$92483986 997 $aUNINA
