in Memoria e Ricerca n.s. 16 (2004), p. 33

Professor Kalyvas lays out a theoretical framework addressing the relationship between civil war, irregular warfare and territory. The main argument is that opportunities for both partisan operations and civilian support on either side hinge to an important degree on territorial control which, in turn, is a function of geographical factors and the resources mobilized by incumbent and partisan forces. The paper is part of a larger forthcoming manuscript.
