In Religion; Civilization; and Civil War author Jonathan Fox carves out a new space of research and interrogation in conflict studies. As a preeminent observer of religious trends on domestic conflicts; Fox utilizes new statistical analysis in the Minorities at Risk (MAR) dataset - which tracks several hundred politically active ethnic groups across the globe; to examine the impact of religion and religious practice on rebellion; protest; discrimination; and international intervention. Fox also employs the State Failure (SF) dataset; which tracks internal wars and failed governances. Fox expertly uses this information to analyze ethnic wars; mass killings; and civil wars between 1948 and 2001. Covering over five decades; this study provides the most comprehensive and detailed empirical analysis of the impact of religion and civilization on domestic conflict to date and will become a critical resource for both international relations and political science scholars. Like his first book; Ethnoreligious Conflict in the Late 20th Century: A General Theory; which was touted as closing gaps in the concept of ethnoreligious conflict; Religion; Civilization; and Civil War provides the data to substantiate; expand; and transform the way scholars understand global conflict since World War Two.
