Dynamics of Political Violence

This section explores the complex and multi-level dynamics of political violence. It welcomes papers that analyse various phases of violent conflicts from onset and perseverance to decline, consequences and legacies. The papers can also analyse e.g. spatial and temporal dynamics of political violence, individual and collective process of radicalisation and de-radicalisation, the relationship between violent and non-violent tactics, as well as interaction between violent groups and other actors (including broader movements and milieus, the political system, security authorities, the media and political opponents). Particularly welcome are papers that draw from theories in the field of sociology and political science which aim at fostering the theoretical foundations of studies on political violence.
