TraCe Highlight Publication: The internationalization of intrastate conflict: A network perspective on empirical evidence and theoretical explanations, in Cooperation and Conflict, forthcoming
TraCe Highlight Publication: In this paper, TraCe researchers from Goethe University and PRIF introduce a network-based framework to conceptualize the internationalization of intrastate armed conflict.
Empirically, they show that intrastate conflicts have indeed become more internationalized in recent years and identify and evaluate likely
drivers of this trend. A preprint version of the forthcoming paper has been published as TraCe Working Paper No. 7.

Sharepic Highlight Publication: Armed Group Constellations: Patterns of Cooperation and Conflict in Multiparty Civil Wars.
Highlight Publication Sharepic: Internationalized multiparty civil wars are an increasingly relevant phenomenon, but we lack understanding of the internal dynamics of these conflicts. Based on in-depth field work of the Syrian conflict and case studies of Ethiopia and Myanmar, this book develops a new understanding of the complex relationships between rebel groups in multiparty civil wars that goes beyond binary notions of cooperation and conflict.

Sharepic Highlight Publication: The Bombing of Hospitals and Rebel Responses in Civil War. Evidence from Syria.
Highlight Publication Sharepic: This publication researches an increasingly prominent form of political violence, the targeting of civilian infrastructure, and its effects on local violence dynamics. Concretely, the paper shows that the targeting of medical facilities by pro-government forces in the Syrian civil war leads to increased rebel violence rather than suppressing resistance.

📣 Explore the TraCe publication highlights: In the Journal of Conflict Resolution, @reginesonja.bsky.social, Werner Krause & Samer Massoud show how targeting civilian infrastructure in Syria backfired and caused rebels to respond with increased violence.

Out now: Working paper on the trend of intranationalization we see with regard to armed conflict. It manifests notably in WANA. Thanks for another great collaboration, @reginesonja.bsky.social, @felixbethke.bsky.social and dear other colleagues at @goetheuni.bsky.social and @prif.org!

📢 #New article in the Journal of Conflict Resolution. In this paper, we demonstrate that pro-regime forces’ targeting of hospitals in Syria backfired, as rebels responded with increased violence.

Ok, last final call.
We host these once a year. And working on/from the Middle East is tough now for lots of reasons. So I'm over-posting.
@pomeps.bsky.social workshops are designed to support MENA scholars in turning working papers into published articles.
Apply today, and please share!

Aussichten für Syrien nach dem Sieg der Rebellen - PRIF BLOG
Mehr als dreizehn Jahre litten die Menschen in Syrien unter den Folgen des Bürgerkrieges. In den letzten Wochen ging es dann schnell. Rebellen rückten weiträumig vor und veranlassten Assad zur Flucht ...
In #Syrien haben die Aufständischen das langjährige Assad-Regime besiegt. Doch welche Zukunft ist für das Land zu erwarten? @reginesonja.bsky.social und Thorsten Gromes ordnen die Aussichten durch einen Vergleich mit anderen Konflikten ein. Neu auf dem #PRIFblog ⬇️

Im Beitrag von @reginesonja.bsky.social wird der besorgniserregende Trend im Kriegsgeschehen der letzten Jahrzehnte diagnostiziert, dass verstärkt zivile Einrichtungen angegriffen werden & die Zahl indirekter Opfer militärischer Gewalt wächst.

Ausgehend von Reemtsmas "Vertrauen und Gewalt" argumentiere ich @mittelweg36.bsky.social, dass es Konflikte sind, in denen Vertrauen in das internationale Gewaltverbot verhandelt wird. Das lässt sich an Praktiken der Kriegslegitimation empirisch untersuchen.

Die jüngsten militär. Konflikte in der Ukraine & im Nahen Osten haben die Auseinandersetzung um die Bedeutung des Völkerrechts neu entfacht. Worin besteht seine Funktion in einer Welt, deren fragile Ordnung immer wieder durch Grenzüberschreitungen herausgefordert wird?

Levels of Analysis and Variation in Civil War Violence and Restraint: Ideology and Contestation in Nicaragua
Abstract. How can we analyze violence against civilians in civil wars over time and with attention both to local context and international comparability? I
New article from me on civil war violence in Nicaragua, focusing on violence by FSLN govt forces in 1980s, the need to look at violence committed by more restrained groups, & need to consider different explanations at different levels of analysis. polisky conflictsky academic.oup.com/jogss/articl...
