the array of post-Cold War interventions in violent ethnic conflicts,
interveners attempt to structure a cooperative “game” among warring
groups. At certain junctures, different actors use emotions to change
the set of actors, reshape preferences, and alter the rules of this
game. Actors have a range of actions available to trigger emotions,
including: violence against persons, desecration of religious sites, de<span>struction of property, inflammatory propaganda, and public demonstrations.<br>
This project treats emotion as a resource akin to guns and money. In
order to explain a pattern of provocations under intervention, social
scientists need to develop hypotheses that consider both structural
resources and constraints and the distribution of emotions on which
political entrepreneurs might play. If we can treat emotions as a
resource, we may better understand the patterns, forms, and escalation
of violence and thus why interventions often fail even despite a heavy
foreign presence. "</span></i></p><p><b> Related Publications:</b></p><p>
