    Distant history and ethnic tensions are often cited as explanations for conflicts but are not the best explanations. A nation's recent economic conditions are more important. Countries with a per capita income rivaling the richest nations have a negligible risk of civil war, as do the 900 million people living in such societies. The potential for conflict is highest among the 1.1 billion people living in poor, declining economies reliant on natural resources, many in countries formed after colonial empires dissolved. Every year their economic conditions persist increases the odds of armed conflict. While income inequality and ethnic/religious diversity are often cited, studies found income inequality does not systematically increase civil war risk and diversity generally reduces risk, except where a majority ethnic group coexists

    PL/ GEWALT DURCH NICHTSTAATLICHE AKTEURE : BRGERKRIEGE

    UND TERRORISMUS
    PL : COLLIER_2003
    Distant history and ethnic tensions are rarely the best explanations
    for a conflitct. Better look at a nations recent past and, most important, its
    economic conditions.
    Reaching a per capita income rivalling that of the worlds richest
    nations, the risk of civil war is negligible. 900 million people live in such
    societies.
    Potential for conflict is concentrated among the countries
    inhabited by the worlds remaining 1.1 billion people. Poor and declining
    economies and rely on natural resources. Number Increase after the
    dissolution of major colonial empires.
    Every year that their economic conditions persist increases the
    odds that their societies will fall into armed conflict.
    Need of identification of the real factors of conflicts.
    THE MYTH OF ETHNIC STRIFE
    52 major civil wars btw. 1960 and 1999 for which some factors
    have been identified. Anke Hoeffler and author studied 5-years period and
    identified pre-existing conditions to the outbreak of the war.
    Ex: income inequality and ethnic religious come frequently. But
    surprinsingly income inequality does not appear to increase systematically
    the risk of civil war. Ethnic and religious diversity reduces the risk of civil
    conflict. EXCEPTION: Where the largest ethnic group constitutes a majority
    but lives alongside a substantial minority Risk x2. Tend to last longer if
    there are two or three dominant ethnic groups.
