The Predictive Role of Inequality in Civil War: The Influence of the Strong Predictors of Disparity and Volatility in Developing Nations

Abstract

The likelihood of civil war in developing nations is dependent upon the simultaneous prevalence of social and economic inequality along with political instability. Recognition of these variables predicts, and - if appropriate measures are taken - ultimately prevents conflict. The foundational basis for conflict begins well before the first shot is fired. The efficacy of conflict rarely remains within the borders of origination and proves that the global benefit is found within peaceful diplomacy not violence.
