Do people from disadvantaged ethnic groups favor political violence over non-violent tactics? Studies of horizontal (between-group) inequality often concentrate on civil war. This article drills below the macro level and looks beyond civil war, to investigate individual participation in various types of conflict. Different types and combinations of ethnic disadvantage favor participation in different kinds of conflict, because of different opportunity structures. Political exclusion motivates leadership, which facilitates organized movements. Economic disadvantages restrict economic leverage, making non-violent tactics less likely to succeed. The article maps these components of groups’ opportunity structure onto different constellations of inequality. It uses Afrobarometer survey data (N = 29,727) to show that economic disadvantages increase participation in political violence short of civil war. When they coincide with political exclusion, they also make people steer actively away from demonstrations. The evidence is less conclusive for political disadvantages alone, but points toward increased participation in demonstrations.

战斗还是示威?不平等和冲突的微观基础

弱势族群的人是否更喜欢政治暴力而不是非暴力策略?横向(组间)不平等的研究通常集中于内战。本文在宏观层面下演练,超越内战,调查个人参与各种类型的冲突。由于不同的机会结构,种族劣势的不同类型和组合有利于参与不同类型的冲突。政治排斥激发了领导力,从而促进了有组织的运动。经济劣势限制了经济杠杆,使非暴力策略不太可能成功。本文将群体机会结构的这些组成部分映射到不同的不平等星座。它使用非洲晴雨表调查数据(N= 29,727) 表明经济劣势增加了对内战以外的政治暴力的参与。当它们与政治排斥同时发生时,它们也会使人们积极地避开示威活动。仅就政治劣势而言,证据并不具有决定性,但表明示威参与人数增加。
