Commentary: Everyday Essentialism and Women’s Experiences in Armed Forces
This commentary is a response to two articles published on the 2025 OnlineFirst pages of Armed Forces & Society : “Women in the Military: Navigating Through Female Life Stages and Military Career by ‘Acting Normally’” by Nadia Diacone, Elena Bendien, Eva van Baarle, and Petra Verdonk; and “When Professionalism Is Not Enough: On Public Discourse Regarding Women’s Combat Service in Israel—the Case of Iron Swords (2023–2025)” by Elisheva Rosman and …
Why gendered quantification trends are a problem: Post-traumatic growth arguments and the civil war malestream
Feminist scholars have long debated quantification trends in the social sciences. Of particular concern has been the extent to which the prestige assigned to quantitative methods may reinforce ‘malestream’ dynamics in academic knowledge production. ‘Malestream’ dynamics include the (implicit or explicit) privileging of a male-centric lens in the research process and the association of ‘hard’ numerical data with notions of ‘scientifically superior…
Territorial arrangements and ethnic conflict management: The paradox that isn’t
Ethnic civil war, the most common type of war in the 21st century, is one of the biggest challenges for development practitioners and scholars. Like other types of armed conflict, it impedes countries’ economic, social and political development, and there is no consensus on how ‘best’ to solve it. Territorial self-governance has received much attention in efforts to reduce the risk of ethnic civil war, but the academic and policy debates over its…
Economic well-being and self-placements on a Left-Right scale: Evidence From Undergraduate Students in Seven Countries
Despite its conceptual and empirical ambiguities, the Left-Right distinction of political preferences is a widely used tool in academic debates on voting and party behaviour, coalition formation and political culture. In a novel contribution to scholarship on the social construction of ideological identities, we investigate the context-dependent nature of the association between different conceptualizations of economic well-being and political or…
Addressing Past Injustice, Empowering for the Future? Reparation Policies and ‘Victim’ or ‘Survivor’ Identities in Tolima, Colombia
Colombia’s Victims and Land Restitution Law of 2011 (Law 1448) has established an ambitious reparation framework. Using primary data from six municipalities in Tolima, we highlight how the limited realisation of Law 1448’s transformative aspirations has contributed to a complex co-existence of ‘victim’ and ‘survivor’ identities. We argue that this pattern reflects the ambiguities of a reparation framework that emphasises the transformation of vic…
Visual and Oral Narratives of Place and Belonging during Brexit
Using visual and oral approaches, this article presents new findings on the social construction of place and belonging in the aftermath of the UK’s Brexit Referendum. Photographs by our British and non-British participants depict everyday life in a seaside town, with rare references to political aspects of migration. In their oral narratives, by contrast, the same participants emphasize the contested nature of belonging, which they associate with…
Cultural violence in the aftermath of the Brexit Referendum: Manifestations of Post-Racial Xeno-Racism
This paper makes a novel contribution to the academic debate on Brexit and racism. It emphasizes the need to distinguish different manifestations of post-racial xeno-racism in the aftermath of the Brexit Referendum as either direct, structural or cultural violence. This distinction of different types of violence is important for everyday and academic contexts, because it affects the ways in which racist behaviour is identified and addressed. Cult…

Buying War Not Peace: The Influence of Corruption on the Risk of Ethnic War
This article presents robust findings for the positive effect of corruption on the risk of ethnic civil war, using binary time-series-cross-section data that cover 87 to 121 countries (per year) between 1984 and 2007. Following a grievance-based explanation of violent intrastate conflict, we argue that corruption increases the risk of large-scale ethnic violence, as it creates distortions in the political decision-making process which lead to a d…

Presidentialism and the Risk of Ethnic Violence
Presidentialism and the Risk of Ethnic Violence: A Reply to Reilly, Sisk, Basedau and McGarry
As Benjamin Reilly rightly points out in his reply to my article ‘Presidentialism and the risk of ethnic violence’, my analysis draws substantially on the scholarly debates that followed Juan Linz
Institutional Design and Ethnic Violence: Do Grievances Help to Explain Ethnopolitical Instability
Recent research on the motives of civil war has been dominated by the juxtaposition of greed versus grievance factors. This academic debate has generated a vast amount of empirical evidence to assess the explanatory power of the grievance concept but neglected its non-empirical limitations. In an attempt to direct attention back to the theoretical and methodological issues surrounding the grievance concept, the purpose of this analysis is twofold…
