Article Abstract:
An analysis offering substantial support on various assumptions about aggrieved rebel groups of society, is provided. It is demonstrated that territorial and governmental conflicts are shaped, in large part, by different casual mechanisms. The reputed parabolic relationship between democracy and risk of civil war only relates to state-centered conflicts, while democracy has a positive a near-linear effect on the risk of territorial rebellion.
