Abstract
ABSTRACT In this reflection I argue that the last 25 years have seen three broad ‘waves’ of work on civil conflict, broadly understood. The first responded to the civil wars and ethnic conflicts of the 1990s, while the second expanded dramatically to take on a variety of questions around violence and organisation in civil wars. The current wave is moving the field towards a broader study of political violence writ large, rather than civil wars per se. I situate the evolution of my own work within this broader trajectory, in particular its engagement with both the second and third waves.
期刊介绍:
Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance.
Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
