Individuals internally displaced by conflict are a prominent feature of wars, political violence and other forms of repression. We suggest that a subnational analysis of internally displaced person (IDP) generation can help us determine the extent to which more specific flight-precipitating factors can account for individuals’ behaviors. In particular, we are interested in how different conflict actors and the interactions of these actors affect the production of internally displaced persons. We suggest that some types of conflict actors are more likely to be responsible for greater numbers of internally displaced persons because of their political strategies. We focus on one of the most complex and yet data-rich environments in which the problem of internal displacement has been profound—Colombia. Using extensive data on internally displaced persons in Colombia among its over 1100 municipalities, we examine our expectations using negative binomial analyses to better understand the dynamics of conflict actors, the violence they perpetrate and internal displacement. We find that the identity of the conflict actor does make a difference in producing more internally displaced persons and that conflict between certain conflict actors is especially likely to produce more displaced persons.

人民运动：暴力和国内流离失所

因冲突而在国内流离失所的个人是战争、政治暴力和其他形式镇压的一个显着特征。我们建议对国内流离失所者 (IDP) 一代进行次国家级分析可以帮助我们确定更具体的飞行诱发因素在多大程度上可以解释个人行为。我们特别感兴趣的是不同的冲突参与者以及这些参与者的相互作用如何影响国内流离失所者的生产。我们认为，某些类型的冲突行为体由于其政治策略而更有可能对更多的国内流离失所者负责。我们专注于最复杂但数据丰富的环境之一，在该环境中，国内流离失所问题一直很严重——哥伦比亚。我们使用哥伦比亚 1100 多个城市境内流离失所者的大量数据，使用负二项式分析检验我们的预期，以更好地了解冲突参与者的动态、他们实施的暴力行为和境内流离失所。我们发现，冲突参与者的身份确实会影响产生更多的国内流离失所者，而某些冲突参与者之间的冲突尤其有可能产生更多的流离失所者。
