| Description | The escalation of the armed conflict is a multi-causal phenomenon highly dependent on the context of the societythat produces it. Many indicators that are correlated with conflict escalation or outbreak are long-term structural conditions that are considered too static for conflict prediction in a dynamic model and too proxy to associate with one theory of conflict escalation. This paper draws on the research of conflict outbreak or escalation and utilizes Qualitative Comparative Analysis to start building a typology of societieswhich are conflict prone. These are "snapshots" of a society on the brink of conflict escalation and varyin time and region. |
