"Conflict, Strategies, and Violence: An Actor-based Approach to Violent and Non-Violent Interactions" (CSV)

Start date: Feb 1, 2013, End date: Jan 31, 2018,

"Existing research has tended to equate conflict with violence, lumping all “non-conflict” situations together. This is unfortunate on theoretical and empirical grounds. Definitions of conflict highlight incompatibilities, which may motivate actors to resort to violence, but do not automatically generate violence and can be settled or managed in non-violent ways. Lumping together as “not violence” ...
