Abstract

ABSTRACT This essay presents a perspective on the intellectual history and development of the field of civil wars. It argues that scholarship on civil wars has its origins in research on revolution and contentious politics. Over time, work on civil wars grew to become its own distinct research programme. The evolution of this programme has been characterised by three broad trends: conceptual and measurement refinement, a search for the optimal unit of analysis, and a reimagining of what is political in the context of civil wars. The intersection of these trends – which measures, assumptions, units, and concepts – tended to produce intellectual traditions within the civil wars field. The author contextualises herself within these traditions, then presents the promises and pitfalls of these underlying trends in the field for future research.

内战研究演变的一个视角

ABSTRACT 本文介绍了内战领域的思想史和发展。文章认为，有关内战的学术研究起源于对革命和有争议政治的研究。随着时间的推移，有关内战的研究逐渐发展成为自己独特的研究项目。这一研究计划的演变有三大趋势：概念和测量的完善、寻找最佳分析单位以及重新认识内战背景下的政治。这些趋势的交汇点--衡量标准、假设、单位和概念--往往会在内战领域中产生知识传统。作者将自己置身于这些传统之中，然后提出了这些基本趋势对未来研究的承诺和隐患。

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.
