• W847152080 abstract "Caught in the Crossfire: Explanations of Insurgency Use of Indiscriminate Violence Andrew J. Woo Political Science Honors Thesis Charles and Louise Travers Department of Political Science University of California, Berkeley May 2015 Abstract As the predominant mode of warfare since World War II, civil conflicts have resulted in the deaths of more than 16 million people worldwide, often noncombatants due to high levels of indiscriminate violence committed by governments and insurgencies. Under what conditions are insurgencies more likely to employ indiscriminate forms of violence against civilians? Whereas some scholars have attributed indiscriminate violence to insurgencies being incarnates of “decentralized criminality,” others have focused on alternative theories such as resource endowment and foreign support as important. This thesis seeks to fill the current gap in the literature by testing competing explanations for insurgent-led indiscriminate violence. I argue insurgencies are less likely to commit indiscriminate violence when these organizations establish robust vertical linkages with their pre-war social base through political wings and strategies. Insurgents are less likely to victimize civilians who are socially connected with them and receive popular support from. Data from the regression analysis show rebel political wings to be statistically significant, as well as other potential explanatory variables such as the level of foreign support and strength of control over constituent groups by the central command. Furthermore, process tracing in insurgencies in El Salvador and Uganda outline the mechanisms whereby political wings and activities reduce an insurgency’s use of indiscriminate violence. The implications of the research are that conventional theories that solely focus on resource endowment and foreign actor support are inadequate, and need to account for these political aspects of insurgent warfare. 1 Keywords: Insurgency, Indiscriminate violence, Civilian Victimization, Selective Violence, One-Sided Violence, Foreign Support, Social Linkages I am deeply grateful for UC Berkeley Professors Amy Gurowitz and Aila Matanock for their guidance and support throughout the research process. I am also thankful for having the chance to work with my mentor and friend Jason Klocek as part of the Undergraduate Research Apprenticeship Program that led me to this field of interest. I would also like to thank my thesis partner, Mikaela Rear, whose friendship and contributions to my thinking has made this experience both an enjoyable and bearable one over the past year. Lastly, I am thankful for my family (John, Felicia, Brian, Hannah) and friends who always believed in me. The arguments expressed in this work, and thus any mistakes and omissions, are that of my own." @default.
