Albanian ethnoterritorial separatist movement: local conflict, regional crisis / Mincheva, Lyubov   Journal Article
Mincheva, Lyubov Journal Article
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Publication 2009.
Summary/Abstract Militant transborder identity movements are common agents of regional crises in the post-Cold War world. In their sustained pursuit of identity-centered political objectives these movements incite violent transborder mobilization. This article examines the actors and circumstances of regionalized crises using as an example the Albanian transborder ethnoterritorial separatist movement and its role in the 2001 Macedonian crisis. I argue that, where opportunities are ripe, two factors contribute to the outbreak of regional crisis. The key short-term "endogenous factor" is common ethnic identity, whereas the major long-term "exogenous factor" consists of leaders' cost/benefit calculations made in view of the local and regional institutional context.

Strategic sovereignty : a model of non-state goods provision and resistance in regions of natural resource extraction / Steinberg, Jessica   Journal Article
Steinberg, Jessica Journal Article
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Summary/Abstract In some regions of natural resource extraction, embedded local populations receive transfers that compensate them for environmental consequences of extraction; while in others, these populations receive no benefits and endure negative environmental externalities, which can lead to violent protest. This article develops a formal model of the strategic dynamics among a government, a natural resource extraction firm, and a local population in an extractive region to understand the variation in extractive outcomes. The model specifies the conditions under which firms will provide promised transfers to a local population, distributive conflict will occur, and how the government will respond.

Winning the peace locally: UN peacekeeping and local conflict / Ruggeri, Andrea ; Gizelis, Theodora-Ismene ; Dorussen, Han   Journal Article
Dorussen, Han Journal Article
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Summary/Abstract It remains contested whether peacekeeping works. The impact of peacekeepers’ actions at the local subnational level for overall mission success has lately received critical attention. Local peacekeeping is expected to matter because it reassures local actors, deters resumption of armed hostilities, coerces parties to halt fighting, and makes commitment to agreements credible. Thus peacekeepers affect the relations between central and local elites and avoid the emergence of local power vacuums and areas of lawlessness. This study uses new subnational data on the deployment of United Nations peacekeepers. It uses matching and recursive bivariate probit models with exogenous variables for temporal and spatial variation to deal with possible nonrandom assignment of the treatment. We demonstrate that conflict episodes last for shorter periods when peacekeepers are deployed to conflict-prone locations inside a country, even with comparatively modest deployment. The effect of peacekeeping on the onset of local conflict is, however, less clear cut.
