学者们一致认为,年轻人实施了大多数政治暴力行为。然而,对于相对较大的青年群体与国内暴力武装冲突的发生之间的联系,没有达成共识。在本文中,我们研究了青年膨胀的影响,一个国家的青年相对丰富的措施,对两种不同类型的内战种族和非种族战争的爆发。基于和扩展其他学者使用的三个数据集,我们从理论上论证并实证证实,由于青年膨胀对该国青年群体经济状况的负面影响,青年膨胀会影响非种族战争的爆发,但不会影响种族战争的爆发。可能的影响和进一步研究的方向提出了建议。
Scholars agree that young men carry out most acts of political violence. Still, there is no consensus on the link between relatively large youth cohorts and the onset of violent, armed intra-state conflicts. In this paper, we examine the effect of youth bulge, a measure of the relative abundance of youth in a country, on the onset of two different types of civil wars—ethnic and non-ethnic wars. Building on and extending three datasets used by other scholars, we theoretically argue and empirically substantiate that, as a result of the negative effects of youth bulge on the economic conditions of the youth cohorts in the country, youth bulge affects the onset of non-ethnic wars, but not the onset of ethnic wars. Possible implications and directions for further research are then suggested.
