Abstract

In contrast to prevalent theories of "terrorism," Maney will present a contention-oriented approach to understanding political violence against civilians. To illustrate and to support this approach, the speaker will present findings from quantitative analyses of a multi-source database of civilian deaths taking place in Northern Ireland between 1966 and 2006. The talk will conclude with a discussion of the study’s implications for scholars and conflict transformation practitioners.
