Outline: SOCIOLOGICAL WARFARE

Introduction

This paper states about the sociology of Civil Wars and the warfare techniques used in it. The different armed groups and all the warfare related information and strategies used.

Thesis

In close to the sociology of civil wars, it is significant to identify a variable of interest. In this paper, I aim to focus on violence.

Warfare in Civil War Studies

It is no exaggeration to state that war has usually been missing from the communal technical study of civil wars and revolutions.

Warfare in Civil Wars

Any consideration of warfare and civil war should start by worrying the absolutely crucial distinction between kind of war and kind of warfare

Links between Warfare and Violence

In what pursues, I turn warfare kind into an unaligned variable. I reconsider seven civil wars covering the whole variety of warfare as recognized in this paper in alignment to discover if they correlate with specific patterns of violence.

Conventional Civil Wars

One of the best renowned (and most studied) accepted civil war is the Spanish Civil War which initiated a considerable number of civilian casualties.

Irregular Civil Wars

What is certain is that high grades of polarization and evident persona manage not emerge to interpret why some wars become irregular and why other ones manage not.

Symmetric Non-conventional Civil Wars

I now turn to the last kind of warfare and analyze two situations, Lebanon and Liberia. Unlike most irregular wars, the Lebanese Civil War (1975-1990) was identically (if not more) built-up as it was rural.

Conclusion

This paper is open-ended. What I wish to have carried out is illustrate the necessity for a study agenda that blends methodical empirical study founded on facts and numbers that captures the key components of warfare with theoretical investigation that elucidates key notions and causal mechanisms.

The identical variety can be discerned in civil wars. However, while the sociology of wars has made considerable advancement in the course of the last decades,' the identical is not factual of the sociology of civil wars—an sign of the more general lag in the study of civil wars as in evaluation to interstate ones. Recent study on civil wars is rapidly concluding the gap, but this study focuses mainly on the determinants of civil war onset, length, and termination, and its consequences, other than civil war per Se. In close to the sociology of civil wars, it is significant to identify a variable of interest. In this paper, I aim to focus on violence.
