    Lessons on political violence from America’s post-9/11 Wars February 14, 2016 Abstract A large literature has emerged in political science that studies the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq. This paper summarizes the lessons learned from this literature, both theoretical and practical. To put this emerging knowledge base into perspective we review findings along two dimensions of conflict: factors influencing whether states or sub-state groups enter into conflict in the first place; and variables affecting the intensity of fighting at particular times and places once war has started. We then discuss the external validity issues entailed in learning about contemporary wars and insurgencies from research focused on the Afghanistan and Iraq wars during the period of U.S. involvement. We close by summarizing the uniquely rich qualitative and quantitative data on these wars (both publicly available and what likely exists but has not been released) and outline potential avenues for future research. WORD COUNT: 11,951 1 Introduction One consequence of America’s post-9/11 wars in Afghanistan, Iraq, and elsewhere has been a profusion of new scholarship on civil war and insurgency. There have been at least 275 studies on these conflicts published in academic journals or presented at major political science conferences since 2002 as well as more than 80 analytical books. To put this emerging knowledge base into perspective it is useful to think about it along two dimensions. First, what have we learned about factors that influence whether states or sub-state groups enter into conflict at all? Second, which insights have we gained into factors affecting the intensity of conflict at particular times and places once it has started? Most of what has been learned from the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq about conflict onset relates to reasons for bargaining failure.
