Economic growth and ethnic violence: An empirical investigation of Hindu—Muslim riots in India (2010, background): “But, as Sambanis (2004) argues, it is important to establish whether civil wars have different causes from other forms of violence.”
Case Studies: Types, Designs, and Logics of Inference (2008, background): “Many attempts to combine large-N statistical studies with case studies involve process tracing (Walter, 2002; Sambanis, 2004).”
The Consequences of Child Soldiering (2010, background): “1 Rational choice theories of conflict suggest that poverty increases the conflict as individuals have more to gain from soldiering when peacetime economic opportunities are poor (Grossman, 2002; Sambanis, 2004; Walter, 2004).”
Representing ethnic groups in space: A new dataset (2010, background): “Since the current literature on civil wars relies extensively on cross national statistics, the question of what mechanisms drive observed macro patterns can only be answered indirectly (Sambanis, 2004).”
