非国家武装团体在国家内部武装冲突中是如何形成的？研究人员已经开始分解武装团体，但我们对武装团体如何以不同方式出现仍然知之甚少。借鉴文献的社会运动，内战，军民关系，我们产生的“运动”，“叛乱”和“国家分裂”的起源武装团体的类型学。我们认为，从根本上不同的动态冲突形状武装团体起源的背景下，广泛的动员，外围的挑战，国家和政权内的碎片。在这些背景下出现的武装团体一般在他们的初始成员和领导层，我们专注于基本的组织层面不同，我们展示了我们的类型学的效用，通过映射到现有的跨国数据和图表类型的叙述说明性的情况下，不同的武装团体的起源。这一讨论推进了最近的努力，以了解武装团体出现的利益冲突学者的结果的重要性，超越单独类型的起源或高度分散的组织分析，以更广泛的冲突动态，通过武装团体的形式，这些团体如何行动的影响。今后的研究应考虑到我们通过深入分析武装团体复杂的历史而比较确定的不同起源。
How do non-state armed groups form in intra-state armed conflicts? Researchers have started to disaggregate armed groups, but we still know little about how armed groups emerge in different ways. Drawing on the literature on social movements, civil wars, and civil–military relations, we generate a typology of ‘movement’, ‘insurgent’, and ‘state splinter’ origins of armed groups. We argue that fundamentally different dynamics of conflict shape armed group origins in the context of broad-based mobilisation, peripheral challenges to the state, and intra-regime fragmentation. Armed groups that emerge in these contexts in general differ in their initial membership and leadership, the basic organisational dimensions that we focus on. We demonstrate the utility of our typology by mapping different origins of armed groups onto existing cross-national data and charting type narratives in illustrative cases. This discussion advances recent efforts to understand the importance of armed group emergence for outcomes of interest to conflict scholars by moving beyond either separate types of origins or highly disaggregated organisational analyses to broader conflict dynamics through which armed groups form, with implications for how these groups act. Future research should consider different origins which we identify in comparison through an in-depth analysis of armed groups’ complex histories.
