By analytically decoupling war and violence, this book explores the causes and dynamics of violence in civil war. Against the prevailing view that such violence is an instance of impenetrable madness, the book demonstrates that there is logic to it and that it has much less to do with collective emotions, ideologies, and cultures than currently believed. Kalyvas specifies a novel theory of selective violence: it is jointly produced by political actors seeking information and individual civilians trying to avoid the worst but also grabbing what opportunities their predicament affords them. Violence, he finds, is never a simple reflection of the optimal strategy of its users; its profoundly interactive character defeats simple maximization logics while producing surprising outcomes, such as relative nonviolence in the 'frontlines' of civil war.

Read the theory carefully and skimmed empirical evidence. Brilliant.
評分revolutionary thinking of the logic of violence
評分TBH行文比較混亂冗長 定性研究也沒有開頭許諾的那麼disciplined 最清楚的可能就是第一頁的abstract瞭
評分跟比較政治磕瞭這一年,覺得最有吸引力的當屬內戰研究文獻。這一本看得心馳神往,彆的不用說,理論素養太強大瞭。
評分Context may differ,Mechanism recur 對於經曆過一個世紀內戰的國傢,我們有理由在這個問題上有很多的思考
