| Description |
The focus of this thesis is to develop an understanding of where civil resistances are likely to occur as opposed to violent insurgencies. This work explores the relationship between the ethnic power structures within a state and the propensity for civil resistance. It further conducts a game theoretic analysis of the choice between violence and non-violence by a civil resistance, compared to a state's choice of repression or counterinsurgency. Finally, this thesis examines a series of three case studies of violent insurgencies that have transitioned to non-violent civil resistance to identify commonalities in the circumstances that led to an insurgency changing its strategy. This research provides a new approach for the study of civil resistance by analyzing a resistance's choice as a strategic decision based on environmental and ethnic structures. The work furthers research into why resistance leaders choose specific strategies, and under what circumstances states may influence the strategic decisions of a resistance. Subjects: civil resistance; unconventional warfare; resistance; nonviolent resistance; ethnic violence; democide; state violence; insurgency; Tibet; East Timor; West Sahara; Saharawi |
