  • Grievance

    Victor Asal, Kathleen DelougheryCHAPTERStates and Peoples in Conflict2017

    This chapter examines recent research that lends new support to the connection between grievance and violent conflict and spends significant time examining the recent work of Cederman, Wimmer, and Min. Rebels have always claimed that grievance plays a key role in why they take up arms. The Declaration of Independence promulgated in 1776 by the Continental Congress of the United States is fairly clear on this point when it states that "The history…

  • Should conventional terrorist bombings be considered weapons of mass destruction terrorism

    Bryan R Early, Erika G Martins et al.ARTICLEDynamics of Asymmetric Conflict2017References: 10

    Since weapons of mass destruction (WMD) are typically thought of as chemical, biological, radiological, or nuclear (CBRN) weapons, the designation of conventional bombings as WMD terrorism under US law has generated controversy and can affect how policymakers plan for future attacks. Using quantitative data on terrorist attacks, federal planning documents, and the academic literature, we argue that placing the conventional terrorist bombings in t…

  • No Business Like Firc Business

    Open AccessPaul Zachary, Kathleen Deloughery et al.ARTICLEBritish Journal of Political…2017Cited by: 2References: 46

    Scholars argue that states undertake foreign military interventions for economic reasons, yet few have investigated whether intervention produces economic benefits. This article answers this question in the context of US foreign-imposed regime changes (FIRCs) in Latin America. Because FIRCs install leaders who are sympathetic to the intervener’s interests, economic arguments maintain that these interventions should increase bilateral trade betwee…

  • Democracy, Inclusion, and Failure in CounterInsurgency

    Victor Asal, Kathleen Deloughery et al.ARTICLEForeign Policy Analysis2016Cited by: 1References: 43

    Why do the strong lose? Intuitively, stronger violent actors should win in wars against weaker actors. The literature on insurgencies suggests that democracies will do worse than other countries. However, there is little quantitative literature on why states succeed or fail in their efforts against insurgencies, and the key works find that democracy does not matter. We argue that the combined effect of political inclusion and political competitio…

  • Responding to Terrorism? Human Rights Organization Shaming and Terrorist Attacks

    Victor Asal, Kathleen Deloughery et al.ARTICLEStudies in Conflict and Terrorism2015Cited by: 2

    Why do Human Rights Organizations (HROs) target or “shame” countries for human rights abuses? The literature using country-level factors to explain why one country is likely to be targeted over another is growing but many questions still remain. Terrorist activity in a country should have a positive effect on the amount of shaming directed at a country. HROs are in the publicity business and have organizational interests to shame states already r…

  • When Politicians Sell Drugs

    Victor Asal, Kathleen Deloughery et al.ARTICLETerrorism and Political Violence2012

    Political organizations claim they are serving the interests of their constituents—but being involved in the drug trade does not seem to support those claims. Why would political organizations sell drugs then? Most often the question of why organizations engage in the drug trade has been explored in the context of organizations that are either criminal or violent, thus leaving a large hole in the literature about how violence and legality interse…
