초록

The basic goal of the study is to search for development of an empirical strategy allowing addressing non-observable sources of heterogeneity in the climate-conflict nexus. Collective violence in African continent have claimed millions of lives, displaced more people and put off the continent’s development overall. However, the research on the causes, dynamics and outputs is far from unified and holistic, but is fragmented and divided along disciplines. One of the main reasons is that most analyses on the nexus of climate change and collective violence with complicated and diverse reasons have been conducted through mono-causal research. Rather, this could only be better recognized through multidisciplinary study of contested historical procedure in which internal and external forces interact to create contingent, contradictory and vague trajectories of violent change. Due to a relative dearth of evidence on specific causal mechanisms, questions remain on the future effect of climate change on collective violence in Africa. In sum, this study purports to establish a higher understanding of collective violence caused by climate change in Africa. The impacts of climate change on collective violence are often indirect, complex, and have linkage with political, economic, and social conflict factors, including social inequalities, low economic development, and ineffective institutional governance. While critically synthesizing competing perspectives, this paper highlights interlinked internal and external causes and escalating factors of collective violence caused by climate change in Africa.

Abstract

The basic goal of the study is to search for development of an empirical strategy allowing addressing non-observable sources of heterogeneity in the climate-conflict nexus. Collective violence in African continent have claimed millions of lives, displaced more people and put off the continent’s development overall. However, the research on the causes, dynamics and outputs is far from unified and holistic, but is fragmented and divided along disciplines. One of the main reasons is that most analyses on the nexus of climate change and collective violence with complicated and diverse reasons have been conducted through mono-causal research. Rather, this could only be better recognized through multidisciplinary study of contested historical procedure in which internal and external forces interact to create contingent, contradictory and vague trajectories of violent change. Due to a relative dearth of evidence on specific causal mechanisms, questions remain on the future effect of climate change on collective violence in Africa. In sum, this study purports to establish a higher understanding of collective violence caused by climate change in Africa. The impacts of climate change on collective violence are often indirect, complex, and have linkage with political, economic, and social conflict factors, including social inequalities, low economic development, and ineffective institutional governance. While critically synthesizing competing perspectives, this paper highlights interlinked internal and external causes and escalating factors of collective violence caused by climate change in Africa.
