  • The Relationship Between Revolution and War a Theoretical Overview.Pdf
    INTRODUCTION: INVESTIGATING INTERNAL-EXTERNAL LINKAGES As introduced in Starr (1990:1), "A not inconsiderable literature has been devoted to the complex question of the linkages/connections/causal structure between political phenomena occurring within the borders of nation-states and phenomena occurring beyond those borders." That paper began to outline the main elements of a project which seeks to investigate the overall relationship between internal and external policy through the use of models focusing on the choices of rational decision makers. This project seeks to develop models applicable to decision makers who must make choices coping with the domestic environment while simultaneously coping with the external environment, and vice versa. These models are, in addition, based on the assumption that choices in one arena have consequences, intended and unintended, on the other.1 The aim of this project, as set out in Starr (1990:2), is "to develop a 'logic' and a set of concepts which can link a variety of internal and external conditions to a similar variety of internal and external behaviors. While the overall concern is with the internal-external linkage in general, the more specific concern— and application— of this project is with the study of social conflict." After reviewing the logic of these models and why they are of use to students of social conflict, the current paper will use this theoretical context to look, explicitly, at the set of possible relationships between revolution and war. The logic used derives from the work of Most and Starr (1989) , which is based upon the opportunity and willingness framework, using that framework to develop the concepts of "substitutability and "nice laws." One of the central arguments of Most and Starr (1989:chap.5) is that researchers must understand the broader concepts and theoretical contexts within which their research sits.

  • Why Do Men Not Rebel? Explaining Rebellion and the Absence Thereof Among the Oromo People in Ethiopia
    Why Do Men Not Rebel? Explaining rebellion and the absence thereof among the Oromo people in Ethiopia Marcus Movitz Department of Government, Uppsala University The Oromo people is the big “ elephant in the room that no one wants to talk about - Professor John Markakis interviewed on ESAT television in Mars 2012” ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I would like to give my sincere gratitude to my supervisor Christofer Berglund, who has been extremely generous with his time and provided me with many helpful comments. Also, the writing of this paper was stimulated through my formal and informal contacts with both governmental and non-governmental agencies during my time in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. I am gratefully beholden to all those who offered me their time. ABSTRACT The objective of this thesis is to help explain why the Oromo people do not rebel against the current government in Ethiopia as they rebelled and ousted the Derg in 1991. The theory deployed, which seems to be of particular relevance when seeking an answer to absence of rebellion, is the Why Men Rebel model by Ted Gurr (1970; 2000). The findings indicate that seven out of 16 variables presented in the theory, have changed in their variety of presence. Six variables have changed in variety to be dependent, a lesser risk to rebellion, and one to be dependent, a greater risk of rebellion in 2013 compared to in 1991. Altogether, Gurr’s theory on Why Men Rebel helps to explain why the Oromo people do not rebel in Ethiopia, and it also seems to be a suitable use, not only for quantitative studies but for in-depth qualitative research as well.
