Civil war research focuses on the study of conflicts between groups within the same country or nation. This type of research often examines the causes, dynamics, consequences, and legacies of civil wars, including their impact on societal, political, economic, and human aspects. Scholars in this field may analyze factors such as ethnic tensions, political grievances, economic disparities, and external influences that contribute to the outbreak and escalation of civil wars. They may also explore various strategies for conflict resolution, peacebuilding, and post-conflict reconstruction in the aftermath of civil wars. Overall, civil war research aims to deepen our understanding of the complexities of intra-state conflicts and inform policies and interventions to prevent and mitigate them.
