“…Households whose conflict experience is more sudden and more intermittent may in fact be less prepared to cope with the immediate negative outcomes of these shocks. As noted earlier, related research finds that experience of conflict itself, at different degrees and in varying contexts, may reinforce collective actions, solidarity links, and cooperative behaviors while producing different perceptions of assets (Bellows and Miguel 2009;Justino, Brück, and Verwimp 2013;Voors et al 2012). The current findings also echo previous research analyzing the causal relations in Afghanistan between food price spikes and household food security.…”

“…They attribute these heterogeneous effects to limited market integration in areas of higher conflict intensity. Although little is known about other mechanisms driving these results, an emerging body of literature isolates positive effects of conflict including the reinforcement of collective actions, solidarity links, and cooperative behaviors (Bellows and Miguel 2009;Justino, Brück, and Verwimp 2013;Voors et al 2012).…”

“…Menkhaus, 2006;Justino, 2009;Arjona, 2014). Many actors tend to substitute the role of the state in providing public goods, justice, and security (Mampilly, 2011;Justino, Brück, and Verwimp, 2013) and local communities do not remain passive in conflicts; they try to find coping mechanisms to minimise risk and to increase predictability (Menkhaus, 2006). This suggests that rebel groups and informal institutions may have the potential to play an important role in governance and therefore DRR in conflict settings.…”

Disaster risk reduction amidst armed conflict: informal institutions, rebel groups, and wartime political orders

Extant research has explored the effect of natural hazards on the risk of armed conflict, but very few studies have examined how conflict dynamics affect disaster risk reduction (DRR), including climate change adaptation. This is surprising given the empirical evidence that indicates how often disasters and armed conflicts collide. To understand better the impact of armed conflict on DRR, this paper develops a conceptual typology that is based on rebel groups' territorial control and on the strength of informal institutions. It documents three main political orders amid conflict: rebel stability; informal stability; and fragmented landscape. These wartime political orders will have different effects on DRR and other development programmes, revealing the importance of desegregating armed conflict to facilitate tailor-made and more efficient interventions. The paper provides empirical evidence from Mali and the Philippines that illustrates the influence of these wartime political orders on DRR programmes.

“…They depend to a large extent on how fighting and negotiations between different factions unfold in the wider political arena. Moreover, these local dynamics of conflict also have wider consequences (Justino, Brück, and Verwimp 2013). For instance, strong organizations at the local level may attract violent actions because local leaders may resist taking sides or because they are being abusive toward civilians.…”

This article reflects on the importance of linking micro and macro levels of analysis in order to advance our current understanding of civil wars and political violence processes and discusses the contributions of the articles in this special issue. We first identify the main problems in research on political violence that is focused on a single level of analysis and describe the challenges faced by research that attempts to establish connections between different levels. We then introduce the different articles in the special issue, with an emphasis on the micro-macro-level linkages they develop and highlighting their commonalities. We conclude by emphasizing the importance of a new research agenda for the study of civil wars and political violence that bridges social, economic, and political dynamics occurring at the local level and conflict processes taking place in the macro arena.
