The prevailing scholarly wisdom is that weak states, or resource-poor states, are the most prone to civil war. Yet many weak states never experience civil war. Why then are some weak states prone to civil war while others are not? The author offers a theory that explains how dissidents and states interact to jointly produce civil war. In sum, states that repress their citizens are the most likely to kill citizens and to generate dissident violence. This insight resolves an academic puzzle and when tested provides a model with better predictive ability than previous models. Adapted from the source document.

International negotiations can be modeled as a two-level process that involves competing interests within & between groups. This modified simulation of the classic prisoner's dilemma introduces students to the negotiation process & challenges them to consider how different decision structures can affect outcomes. Students fill both leadership & negotiation roles & gain an active learning experience that exposes them to important international relations concepts. All of the instructions, handouts, & materials are included to provide instructors of international relations or comparative politics with a resource that can be utilized with groups of varying size, ability, & composition.

Many scholars of contentious politics claim there is no such thing as a group that uses only one tactic, yet scholars, pundits, and the public routinely use single-minded terms like protestors, dissidents, and terrorists. Other scholars and research programs suggest that some groups are specialists who tend to stick to a single tactic to achieve their goals, such as non-violence, violence, or specific kinds of violence, like terror. We make the claim that both sides of the debate are empirically valid and that both types of group exist. That is, some groups tend to specialize in a single tactic while others use a variety of tactics. This paper examines the empirical distribution of group types by examining the mix of tactics that groups employ. The analysis helps resolve part of the debate and pushes scholarly thinking in new directions about how often, why, and when groups operate across this spectrum.
