Abstract:
In post-war elections a large number of citizens vote for political parties with deep roots in the violent organizations of the past. However, despite the prevalence of rebel, militia, and military successor parties, their success varies dramatically. This study explores the correlates of civil war belligerent party performance in contexts emerging from ethnic wars fought over government control and over territory.
