| What explains variation in levels of lethal violence across localities during civil wars?
In particular, what explains this variation in civil wars that are not irregular, and have quite
fixed and stable frontlines? In this paper, I present a theoretical framework to understand
selective violence against civilians in civil wars, and I test my hypotheses with data on
Catalan counties and municipalities during the Spanish Civil War. One of the main findings
of the article is that ideological factors such as prewar political polarization at the local level
are relevant to explain violence in this type of wars, but that there are also wartime dynamics
that gain explanatory relevance once war violence has already taken place. In particular, level
of violence taking place in t1 appears as significant correlate of level of violence taking place
in t2. |
