2 Sexual Violence in Wartime Cross-national studies examine sexual violence during wartime and conclude that multiple causal mechanisms predict its occurrence (e.g., Wood 2006, Leiby 2007, Cohen 2013). Most studies conclude that, despite principal-agent problem, widespread sexual violence is frequently strategic in nature. Leadership has the authority to either encourage or restrain such violence. Variance in the magnitude of violence is driven by variance in incentives for leaders to either encourage or restrain. (UNC Charlotte) PSSA / 12

5 Sexual Violence in Wartime Organizations may deliberately encourage sexual violence to: 1 Coerce or punish locals, especially to prevent cooperation with adversary (e.g., Allen 1996, Brownmiller 1975, Seifert 1994, Kalyvas 2006). 2 Create social cohesion among group members (Cohen 2013). But widespread violence may stoke, rather than suppress, dissent. Under such circumstances, leadership has powerful incentives to curtail violence against civilians. (UNC Charlotte) PSSA / 12

9 Material Endowments and Rebel Violence Weinstein (2007) argues that groups with greater endowments are likely to engage in more violence against civilians because: These groups attract more opportunistic recruits who are less committed to the goals of the organization. These groups rely less on the civilian population for economic support. The consequences for violence against civilians is less severe for these groups. By contrast, groups with fewer endowments must cultivate a cooperative relationship with the local population. (UNC Charlotte) PSSA / 12

12 Extortion, Smuggling and Sexual Violence Natural resource endowments should not consistently influence the level of sexual violence. The method by which endowments are exploited should influence the relative degree to which groups rely on the civilian population. The degree to which groups rely on the civilian population determines the incentives for group leaders to restrain violence. (UNC Charlotte) PSSA / 12

15 Extortion, Smuggling and Sexual Violence Groups engaged in extortion of natural resource producers rely less on the local population. Extortion of existing production sites implies some level of control. Sites are likely to be geographically concentrated (Le Billon 2012). Such arrangements typically lead to long-term revenue streams (Sabates-Wheeler & Verwimp 2014). Groups engaged in smuggling of natural resources must rely heavily on local populations. Smuggling routes encompass much wider, diverse geographic territories. Includes more diverse populations and intermediaries. More sensitive to government counteroperations. Requires a great deal of discretion (Adler 2013). (UNC Charlotte) PSSA / 12

28 Results & Implications Groups that extort natural resources engage in higher magnitudes of sexual violence. Groups that smuggle natural resources engage in lower magnitudes of sexual violence. These effects are independent of the strength or size of the organization. These effects are independent of other causal mechanisms, such as whether the group uses abduction to staff its ranks.
