The authors systematically apply the Collier-Hoeffler model to 15 countries in 6 different regions of the world, using a comparative case study methodology to revise and expand upon economic models of civil war. (The countries selected are Burundi, Congo, Democratic Republic of Congo, Nigeria, Kenya, Mozambique, Sudan, Algeria, Mali, Senegal, Indonesia, Lebanon, Russian Federation, Colombia, Northern Ireland, Bosnia-Herzegovina, Macedonia, and the Caucasus.) The book concludes that the "greed" versus "grievance" debate should be abandoned for a more complex model that considers greed and grievance as inextricably fused motives for civil war.en-USCC BY 3.0 IGOARMED CONFLICTASSET INEQUALITYBOUNDARIESCAUSES OF CONFLICTCIVIL CONFLICTCIVIL CONFLICTSCIVIL WARCIVIL WAR DATACIVIL WARSCOEFFICIENT OF POPULATION DISPERSIONCOEFFICIENT ON POPULATIONCOLD WARCONFLICT EPISODESCONFLICT PREVENTIONCONFLICT RISKCONFLICTSCONGOCOST OF CONFLICT-SPECIFIC CAPITALCRIMECRIME RATEDEVELOPMENT ASSISTANCEDIASPORADIASPORA MEASUREDIASPORA VARIABLEDIASPORA-DIASPORADONATIONS FROM DIASPORASECONOMIC DEVELOPMENTECONOMIC INEQUALITYELECTIONSENDOGENOUS DIASPORAETHNIC DIVERSITYETHNIC DOMINANCEETHNIC FRACTIONALIZATIONETHNIC GROUPEXPLANATION OF REBELLIONEXTORTIONFINANCIAL SUPPORTFOREGONE EARNINGS PROXIESFOREGONE INCOMEFOREIGN GOVERNMENTSFREEDOM HOUSEGEOGRAPHIC DISPERSIONGOVERNMENT CAPABILITYGRADUAL DECAY OF CONFLICTGRIEVANCE MODELGRIEVANCE MODELSGROSS DOMESTIC PRODUCTHETEROGENEITY INCREASESHIGH INEQUALITYHUMAN RIGHTSINCIDENCE OF REBELLIONINCOME DIVERSITYINCOME INEQUALITYINCOME PER CAPITAINTERGROUP HATREDSINTERNATIONAL COMMUNITYINTERNATIONAL RELATIONSINTERNATIONAL WARMEASURE OF AUTOCRACYMEASURES OF GRIEVANCEMILITARY ADVANTAGEMILITARY EQUIPMENTMILITARY OPPOSITIONMILITIASMILLION PEOPLEMISPERCEPTIONS OF GRIEVANCESOBJECTIVE GRIEVANCEOBJECTIVE GRIEVANCESOPPORTUNITY FOR REBELLIONOPPORTUNITY MODELOPPORTUNITY MODELSPEACEPEACE EPISODESPEACE RESEARCHPIRACYPOLARIZATIONPOLITICAL ACCOUNT OF CONFLICTPOLITICAL ALLEGIANCEPOLITICAL CONFLICTPOLITICAL ECONOMYPOLITICAL REPRESSIONPOLITICAL RIGHTSPOORPOST-CONFLICTPROBABILITY OF WARPROFITABLE OPPORTUNITIES FOR REBELLIONREBEL ARMYREBEL FINANCEREBEL MILITARY OPPORTUNITYREBEL ORGANIZATIONSREBELLIONREBELLION-SPECIFIC CAPITALREBELLIONSRECONSTRUCTIONRELIGIOUS DIVERSITYRELIGIOUS FRACTIONALIZATIONRELIGIOUS HATREDRELIGIOUS HATREDSRELIGIOUS TENSIONREPUBLIC OFRISK FACTORSRISK OF CONFLICTRISK OF CONFLICT REPETITIONSOCIAL COHESIONSOCIAL FRACTIONALIZATIONSOCIAL GRIEVANCESOVEREIGNTYSUBVENTIONSSUPERPOWERSTERMS OF TRADEVIOLENCEVIOLENT CONFLICTWAR EPISODESWorld Bank10.1596/978-0-8213-6049-1
