The logic of violence in civil war

Book • 2000
The Logic of Violence in Civil War by Stathis N. Kalyvas offers a comprehensive framework for understanding violence in civil conflicts.

It distinguishes between indiscriminate and selective violence, arguing that the level of control exercised by factions is a key determinant of violence.

The book provides a methodologically individualist account, focusing on the microfoundations of war and how violence is influenced by informational problems and local dynamics.
