Using case studies to expand the theory of civil war Forced Migration Online (24276783) Migration, asylum and refugee law FORCED MIGRATION ONLINE RESEARCH CASE STUDIES ANALYSIS ECONOMIC CONDITIONS CIVIL WAR DEVELOPMENT This paper is part of a 'Working Paper Series' disseminating findings of work in progress to encourage discussion and exchange of ideas on conflict and development issues. This working paper considers the use of a comparative case study research design to make a scholarly contribution to the civil war literature by expanding and complicating economic models of civil war. The author extends and modifies the Collier-Hoeffler (CH) model by drawing causal inferences about the causes of civil war based on a set of comparative case studies that were designed to answer a set of questions that are central to the CH model. The paper also has a methodological contribution in demonstrating how large-N quantitative research and qualitative case-study research designs can be usefully combined to address a substantively important problem. 2026-09-30T11:51:07Z Text Online resource 10.25446/oxford.33357168.v1 https://figshare.com/articles/online_resource/Using_case_studies_to_expand_the_theory_of_civil_war/33357168 CC BY-NC-ND 4.0
