| description |
To bridge the gap between case studies
and highly aggregate cross-country analyses of civil unrest,
the author uses data from Uganda to explore determinants of
civil strife (as contrasted to theft and physical violence)
at the community level, as well as the potentially
differential impact of these variables on investment and
nonagricultural enterprise formation at the household level.
He finds that distance from infrastructure (a proxy for
scarcity of economic opportunities and government
investment), asset inequality (social tension), the presence
of cash crops (expropriable wealth), and lower levels of
human capital (ability to take advantage of opportunities in
the "regular" economy) all increase the propensity
for civil strife. Furthermore, civil strife, in marked
contrast to violence and theft, reduces investment and
nonagricultural enterprise start-ups. |
