Key Points

Different conflict types require distinct policy approaches to address their unique determinants, and tackling violence effectively hinges on context.
The study emphasizes a data-driven method to classify diverse country contexts related to conflict, enhancing policy relevance.
Emerging themes in conflict dynamics inform policy recommendations, focusing on strategies to mitigate fighting in varied settings.
Computational analysis of conflict determinants indicates significant variability across regions, underscoring the need for localized interventions.

Implication

Analysis identifies varying conflict types in different contexts, suggesting tailored policy responses.

Abstract

This paper studies how heterogeneity in conflict determinants and types calls for different policy responses. For this purpose, we propose a novel, data-driven classification of country contexts and corresponding conflict types. We discuss several major conflict-related themes and policy-relevant recipes for curbing fighting.
