Getting Religion Wrong A Response to Toft’s “Getting Religion Right”
In a recent contribution to the Journal of Conflict Resolution , Monica Toft presents new data and analysis that suggest a rise in religious civil war, and question our findings on linguistic and religious cleavages' effect on armed conflict onset. We welcome Toft’s contribution, in particular her replication of our results, and the very well documented new dataset on civil wars. Yet we disagree with several of Toft’s specific claims and raise th…
Linking Business Strategies to ESG Practices
Stakeholders have been pressuring companies to adopt effective Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) practices. To understand corporate engagement beyond financial aspects, this study draws on the business strategies of Miles and Snow (1978). The article analyzes the influence of the prospector business strategy on the ESG practices of publicly traded Brazilian companies. In the archival research, data were collected from 2015 to 2023, tota…
Nationalism and Ethnic Mobilization: Towards an Integrated Perspective
This article reviews the literature on nationalism and ethnic mobilization. I first discuss the different strands of research in the field, highlighting three key sources of division that characterize existing literature: geography, ethnic cleavage type, and strategy of mobilization. Arguing that the lack of dialogue between different niches of research can undermine the accumulation of general knowledge, I propose an integrated perspective on na…
Intra-ethnic divisions and disagreement over self-determination demands in ethnic movements
Ethnic movements continue to challenge state governments globally, with many ethnic conflicts revolving around the status of groups’ territories. Yet, politically mobilized ethnic groups vary considerably in their territorial demands: some press for increased autonomy or even outright secession, while others do not make such demands at all and prefer integration in the existing state. What explains this divergence in ethnic group demands with res…

Realizou-se uma pesquisa descritiva por meio de estudo de caso qualitativo, triangulando as entrevistas com agentes da cooperativa, documentos e os questionários respondidos por cooperados. Para tanto, utilizou-se a técnica da análise de conteúdo. Dentre os principais achados destacam-se os desafi…
When Do Religious Organizations Resort to Violence? How Local Conditions Shape the Effects of Transnational Ideology
Under what conditions do non-state actors with religious agendas resort to violence? Studies tackling this question typically examine global or local factors in isolation, while those advancing integrated arguments lack the data required for systematic tests across time and countries. We advance and test a theoretical framework combining transnational forces, domestic context, and actor-specific attributes. We argue that by 1979 a new transnation…
How Religious Are “Religious” Conflicts
Despite significant advances in our understanding of the politics of religious ideology and identity across time and space, scholars disagree on how to conceptualize “religious” conflicts and “religious” actors, and how to infer religious motivations from actors’ behavior. This Forum brings together scholars with diverse research agendas to weigh in on conceptual, methodological, and ethical questions surrounding the study of contemporary religio…
The Politics of Extractivism: Mining, Institutional Responsiveness, and Social Resistance
Natural resource exploitation often generates negative externalities and fuels social conflict. Yet, patterns of social resistance against mining differ considerably within and across countries. What explains differences in the occurrence and duration of anti-mining protest? Distinguishing explicitly between protest onset and continuation, we theorize that communities affected by mining engage in social protest to signal their grievances to polit…
Response to Critiques and Avenues for Future Research
I would like to start my response by expressing my profound gratitude to the three commentators for their in-depth engagement with my book, their generous comments, and the rich variety of though-provoking challenges and critiques. Their contributions urge me to refine the theoretical and empirical implications of the book in novel ways. Responding to all of their excellent observations would go beyond the scope of this short essay, but I will ad…
From Claims to Violence: Signaling, Outbidding, and Escalation in Ethnic Conflict
Do radical political demands increase the risk of ethnic civil conflict? And why do ethnic movements make radical demands in the first place? We contend that when movements are fragmented, individual organizations use far-reaching claims relative to the status quo to attract attention from the government, boost intra-organizational discipline, and outbid rivals. Yet, such radical claims also increase the risk of conflict escalation. We test our a…

Para tanto, foram analisadas as informações disponíveis de empresas de quatro países (Argentina, Brasil, Chile e Peru), correspondendo a um total de 69 empresas. Além disso, os dados foram referentes ao período de 2011 a 2015. Vale ressaltar que para mensurar a criação de valor optou-se pelas variáv…
Mobilization and Conflict in Multiethnic States
Why are ethnic movements more likely to turn violent in some multiethnic countries than in others? Focusing on the long-term legacies of European colonialism, this book presents two ideal-typical logics of ethnic group mobilization—one of violent competition and another of nonviolent emancipatory opposition. The book’s theory first explains why ethnic grievances are translated into either violent or nonviolent forms of conflict as a function of d…
Ethnic Stratification and the Equilibrium of Inequality: Ethnic Conflict in Postcolonial States
Why are ethnic movements more likely to turn violent in some multiethnic countries than in others? Focusing on the long-term legacies of European overseas colonialism, I investigate the effect of distinct ethnic cleavage types on the consequences of ethnic group mobilization. The colonial settler states and other stratified multiethnic states are characterized by an equilibrium of inequality in which historically marginalized groups lack both the…
Dynamics and Logics of Civil War
This article reviews the literature on civil war. We focus on the most recent period of scholarly activity, beginning in the early 2000s when the publication of prominent quantitative studies triggered a surge in the empirical research of civil war as a well-defined conceptual category. We identify three explanatory logics that have dominated much of this literature and that view civil wars as a consequence of greed, grievances, and opportunities…
Language, Religion, and Ethnic Civil War
Are certain ethnic cleavages more conflict-prone than others? While only few scholars focus on the contents of ethnicity, most of those who do argue that political violence is more likely to occur along religious divisions than linguistic ones. We challenge this claim by analyzing the path from linguistic differences to ethnic civil war along three theoretical steps: (1) the perception of grievances by group members, (2) rebel mobilization, and (…
A New Dawn? Indigenous Movements and Ethnic Inclusion in Latin America
This article investigates how indigenous movements in Latin America promote the political inclusion of historically marginalized indigenous groups. I argue that the social pressure produced by a strong movement promotes the inclusion of indigenous representatives in formal leadership positions. However, this effect depends on both the movement’s internal unity and the general responsiveness of the political system. I examine my claims using a mix…
Integrating Data on Ethnicity, Geography, and Conflict: The Ethnic Power Relations Data Set Family
This article introduces the new Family of Ethnic Power Relations (EPR) data sets, version 2014, which is the latest in a series of data sets on ethnicity that have stimulated civil war research in the past decade. The EPR Family provides data on ethnic groups’ access to state power, their settlement patterns, links to rebel organizations, transborder ethnic kin relations, and intraethnic cleavages. The new 2014 version does not only extend the da…
The Disarticulated Movement: Barriers to Maya Mobilization in Post-Conflict Guatemala
Over the last decades, indigenous movements have propelled the political empowerment of historically marginalized groups in Latin America. The Maya struggle for ethnic equality in Guatemala, however, since its reawakening during the peace process, has reached an impasse. Based on field research consisting of dozens of elite interviews, this article analyzes the patterns of and obstacles to present-day Maya mobilization. It combines movement-inter…
