“…First, most research on the spread of violence and armed conflict has focused on macrolevel phenomena, such as the dynamics of interstate wars (Most & Starr, 1980;Siverson & Starr, 1991;O'Loughlin & Anselin, 1991;Ward & Gleditsch, 2002) or cross-national spillovers of civil war (Lake & Rothchild, 1998;Salehyan & Gleditsch, 2006;Forsberg, 2008;Braithwaite, 2010). The more recent "disaggregated" study of war and insurgency owes much to this older research tradition (O'Loughlin & Witmer, 2011;O'Loughlin et al, 2010;Schutte & Weidmann 2011).…”

A growing literature on the subnational diffusion of armed conflict rests on the proposition that political violence triggers more violence, in the same locality and elsewhere. Yet state efforts to contain such uprisings remain largely unexplored, theoretically and empirically. Drawing on a mathematical model of epidemics, we formalize the logic of conflict diffusion and derive conditions under which state coercion might limit the spread of insurgent violence. Using a new dataset of insurgent and government violence in Russia’s North Caucasus from 2000 to 2008, we evaluate the relative effectiveness of four coercive strategies: (1) denial, which manipulates the costs of expanding insurgent activity to new locations, (2) punishment, which manipulates the costs of sustained fighting in contested areas, (3) denial and punishment, which does both, and (4) no action, which does neither. We find denial to be most effective at containing insurgent violence. Punishment is least effective, and even counterproductive. Not only does such a strategy fail to prevent the spillover of violence to new locations, but it may amplify the risk of continued fighting in contested areas. In the Caucasus, denial is found to be the least inflammatory counter-insurgency option for Russia. For it to succeed, Russia should physically isolate centers of insurgent activity from regions of nonviolence and avoid the temptation of punitive reprisals.

“…Esto significa que los coeficientes de la regresión pueden no estar capturando la magnitud real de la relación y además estar cometiendo potencialmente errores del tipo II en las pruebas de hipótesis sobre los mismos coeficientes (Anselin, 1988(Anselin, y 1992. Esto lo puede ocasionar la existencia de heterogeneidad espacial sustantiva, es decir, patrones regionales de comportamiento electoral distintivos (O'Loughlin y Anselin, 1991;Flint, Harrower y Edsall, 2000). En esta cuestión el modelo del pri es diferente del de los otros partidos.…”

“…Históricamente hablando, la polémica al respecto se puede considerar reciente. Aunque el tratamiento de datos espacializados empezó a abordarse en revistas científicas (como Biometrika y Journal of the Royal Statistical Society) en los alrededores de la década de los cincuenta (Moran, 1948;1950), el tema no comenzó a discutirse sistemáticamente ni a popularizarse en la literatura académica sino en la década de los ochenta y principios de los noventa (Cliff y Ord, 1981;Anselin, 1988;Anselin y Griffith, 1988; O'Loughlin y Anselin, 1991;Flint, 1995;King, 1996). Antes de esos años, los artículos referentes al asunto eran muy ocasionales, pese a que contaban con una excepcional calidad científica (Cliff y Ord, 1971;Ord, 1975).…”

“…The local environment has long believed to have an effect on political behavior (Agnew, 1987;Burbank, 1995;Cox, 1969;Flint, 1995;Johnston, Shelley & Taylor, 13 1990; Johnston, 1991;O'Loughlin & Anselin, 1991). Briefly, it is argued that people in similar socioeconomic circumstances may vote differently depending on where they live.…”
