本文介绍了武装反对派团体获取武器的方式与内战形式之间的对应关系。武器采办模式受两个因素的影响：可获得性和对采办过程的控制。获取武器的方式各不相同，这对应于三种类型的叛乱：由一个有组织的单一团体领导的叛乱、军阀主义叛乱和无组织的武装团伙叛乱。本文讨论了如何在武器和国内冲突的现有文献中考虑武器的获取，并检查武器供应的定义。它提供了关于国内冲突中武器的可用性和控制的新见解，并提供了尼泊尔，伊拉克和阿富汗的例子。文章最后审查其调查结果的政策含义。
This article presents a correspondence between the mode of weapons acquisition by armed opposition groups and the form of a civil war. The mode of arms acquisition is affected by two factors—availability and control over the acquisition process. Variations in the mode of arms acquisition correspond to three types of insurgency: led by a single and organized group, warlordism, and disorganized armed bands. This article discusses how weapons acquisition is considered in the existing literature on arms and civil conflict, and examines the definitions of arms availability. It provides new insights on the availability and control of weapons in civil conflict and provides examples from Nepal, Iraq, and Afghanistan. The article concludes with an examination of the policy implications of its findings.
