A rope from the sky
‘What went so horribly wrong?’(p. xi). This is the question Zach Vertin asks in the opening pages of his book, A rope from the sky. In 2011, South Sudan became the newest member of the community of states. After 22 years of war with the government of Sudan, the insurgent group known as the Sudanese People's Liberation Movement (SPLM) became South Sudan's first ruling party. Yet only two and a half years later, the country collapsed into civil war…
Bourdieu's capital and insurgent group resilience
The conflict between the rebel group, the Polisario Front, and the Kingdom of Morocco is nearing its 43rd year. Though under-reported, the conflict itself garners attention for the resilience – some would say tenacity – of the ethnically Sahrawi Polisario Front. Despite shifting regional and international politics and the nearly 150,000 Sahrawi refugees waiting in nearby Algerian camps, the rebel group has survived. What explains its resilience? …
Challenging U.S. Security Assessments of Africa
For decades, Africa lay at the periphery of US security policy. Attention to the continent intensified after the 9/11 terrorist attacks amid claims that East Africa and the Sahel had become hubs of terrorist activity. Despite this shift, US analysts and policymakers continue to frame security threats in Africa using a traditional, Cold War-influenced paradigm. Commonly used indicators are based on mainstream security studies, which provides a nar…
The Consequences of Rivalry
The author presents a unique theory of insurgent group behavior using a fuzzy-set approach. In contrast to arguments that place the culpability of insurgent group violence toward noncombatants in the arena of natural resource endowments or the distinctive nature of contemporary conflicts, the author uses a component of qualitative comparative analysis to show that the presence of “active rivalry” is critical in determining the type of behavior in…
Reformed Rebels? Democratization, Global Norms, and the Sudan People's Liberation Army
After years of using terror as a strategic tool against its ostensible supporters in southern Sudan, the Sudan People's Liberation Army (SPLA) claims to be moving in a democratic direction. If true, this change would stand as a case of an insurgency responding to global political and normative pressures to democratize, and would signal acceptance of greater reciprocity in social relations in the insurgency—a pattern that fits with broader proposi…
Symposium on Replication in International Studies Research
The following symposium tackles an important debate in the field of international studies research and in social science research more broadly. Originating as presentations at the 2002 International Studies Association meetings in New Orleans, the following set of papers examines issues concerning the potential replication of research results from a number of different conceptual and technical perspectives. It also spans an array of journals and …
